The army tries to intimidate oil workers, but finds refineries closed.
Brazilian Army troops arrived at the Araucária Refinery headquarters on Wednesday, the 30th, and found access blocked; oil workers demand the immediate resignation of Petrobras's president; "The Army arrived here to see how the oil workers' protest was going, but it was the company that closed it.

Paraná 247 - Army personnel arrived this Wednesday, the 30th, at the headquarters of the Araucária Refinery (Repar), in the metropolitan region of Curitiba, to try to guarantee the departure of trucks carrying fuel and normalize the supply in the state.
However, the gates of the Repar refinery were closed, and the oil workers were at the gates. They launched a 72-hour national strike against the price adjustment policy promoted by Pedro Parente at Petrobras.
Until Tuesday the 29th, trucks carrying fuel have been leaving the area to supply vehicles belonging to security forces, Salgado Filho International Airport, and gas stations. They were escorted, despite there being no roadblocks.
"The army came here to see how the oil workers' protest was going, but it was the company that shut it down. Here, we only have workers defending Brazil, against the fuel price increase, in defense of Petrobras," said a protester in a video shared on social media.
