Truckers' strike will be nicknamed "Lorenzoni," says category leader.

247 - The Chief of Staff, Onyx Lorenzoni (DEM), may receive an unwelcome tribute. According to one of the main leaders of the truck drivers, the next strike by the category, scheduled for April 29, will be named after Lorenzoni.

For Wanderlei Novaes, known as Dedeco, the irritation arose when the minister declared that President Jair Bolsonaro (PSL) was negotiating with the wrong people. He, who was one of the main leaders of the category during last year's strike, said he would give the minister the name so that he wouldn't forget "who he should be negotiating with."

In an audio released on Friday (19), the minister said that Bolsonaro had "put a brake" on Petrobras, and that he has been seeking other agendas for the category. "On the other hand, we are resolving that issue of the gas stations and we are going after the inspection. I have been insisting a lot on this, the president got involved in this. You will see, that many things will happen this week," he said.
