aim of the new rules is to prevent a traditional form of protest known as #piquete, in which demonstrators blockade city roads and highways for hours, days – even weeks at a time.“Under the promise of order [the government] seeks to suppress public protest against the effects of official measures,” said the Centre of Legal Studies. “The measures attack the right to protest and criminalize those who demonstrate and persecute social and political organizations.”
