247 - Professor João Cezar de Castro Rocha stated, in an interview with journalist Leonardo Attuch, editor of TV 247, that the road blockades were caused by Bolsonaro's disinformation machine, but were also financed by major economic interests. "Follow the money and the scandal will be huge. Businessmen are paying. The intention is to make the broad front government unviable before it even begins," he said. "We have tens of millions of Brazilians who believe in Bolsonaro's bizarre ideas," he added.

João Cezar also said that Lula's victory was hyperbolic. "He faced a secret budget, vote buying, and fake news. A billion-dollar machine," he stated. "Bolsonarism is the vanguard of the far right in the world. The strategy is to keep institutions under permanent siege," he emphasized.

According to the professor, congresswoman Carla Zambelli needs to be impeached. He also said that Fábio Faria and Fabio Wajngarten need to be investigated. "If it weren't for Lula's strength and Alexandre de Moraes' civic courage, democracy would not have prevailed," he stated.

In the interview, he issued an important warning. "This is the moment when Bolsonarism could get out of control and President Lula's security needs to be reinforced," he stated. "The funding structure for extremist media will increase, and the government will have to produce quality audiovisual content."
