Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 2, 2025, protesters in Porto Alegre, Brazil blocked highway BR-290 to demonstrate against electricity shortages following a recent storm. The protest was classified as peaceful with low severity.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether highway disruptions spread to other transportation corridors in Rio Grande do Sul state.
