Lula's campaign organizes an event with truck drivers and seeks rapprochement with the category

Lula's campaign organizes an event for the president with truck drivers this week in São Paulo. The agenda is expected to be held on Wednesday (14).

The idea is to give a demonstration of strength alongside the category that usually mobilizes across the country.

The campaign wants to give more visibility to the actions adopted by the Lula government in favor of the category. One of them is the Provisional Measure issued at the beginning of the year that guaranteed the minimum freight floor so that the values ​​reflect the real costs of the operation.

The text also punishes companies that fail to comply with the new rules.

Campaign members also remember that it was Lula who fulfilled his promise to guarantee more rest points for truck drivers. In July, the government issued an ordinance that allowed stopping points to double throughout the country.

At the time, the measure was praised by the president of the National Union of Cegonheiros (Sinaceg), José Ronaldo Marques da Silva, known as Boizinho.

In 2022, truck drivers closed the highways after the defeat of then president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) at the polls.

Lula's campaign aims to reinforce what was done by the government in the last four years to bring the category closer.
