This flyer advertising a"National Shutdown" next week has been shared in some of Brazil's biggest far-right channels. In it, truck drivers responsible for transporting goods and those working in the agricultural industry are urged to strike.Michele Prado, an independent analyst who studies Brazil's far-right, says:"The objective is to produce chaos, general shortages, hit infrastructure targets to provoke a civil war and rupture the democratic order.
