247 - The Brazilian Press Association (ABI) released a statement this Sunday (30) condemning the "illegal operations" carried out by the Federal Highway Police (PRF).
Several complaints surfaced throughout the day alleging that the Federal Highway Police (PRF) has been hindering voters' access to polling stations, especially in the Northeast.
"The Brazilian Press Association and the Brazilian Bar Association publicly reaffirm their total confidence in the Superior Electoral Court and its exclusive competence to oversee the ongoing elections in the country," the text states, adding: "It is unacceptable that the Federal Highway Police and the Federal Police disobey the TSE's order, which stipulated that there should be no roadblocks or impediments to the free movement of voters during the October 30th election, as well as prohibiting the monitoring of the election by the Federal Police's Integrated Command and Control Center, as ordered by the Minister of Justice and Public Security of Jair Bolsonaro's government."
