In Brazil, lorry drivers loyal to President Jair Bolsonaro blocked roads across the country after his election defeat to leftist rival Lula.
Disruptions were reported in all but two states, causing significant disruption and affecting food supply chains.
With all votes counted, Lula had 50.9% of valid votes in Sunday’s runoff, compared to Mr. Bolsonaro’s 49.1%.
The current far-right president has neither conceded defeat nor challenged the nation-divisive results.
There are concerns that could complicate the two-month transition period before outgoing President Lula (full name LuÃz Inácio Lula da Silva), a former president, is sworn in on January 1, 2023.
Pro-Bolsonaro lorry drivers began blocking roads across the country shortly after the election results were announced.
As of Monday night, the Federal Highway Police reported 342 such incidents, with the largest protests continuing in the south of the country. Some of the barriers were later cleared by the police.
Many lorry drivers have benefited from lower diesel prices during the Bolsonaro administration.
Supreme Court Justice Alexander de Morais on Monday ordered police to immediately disperse the roadblocks.
He warned that anyone blocking roads on Tuesday would be fined 100,000 Brazilian reals (£16,700:$19,300) an hour.
After losing to their arch rival. Mr Bolsonaro, 67, is said to have retired to his room to sleep.
The following morning, a presidential adviser and an aide to Mr Bolsonaro’s vice president were seen arriving at the presidential palace in Brasilia, but it was unclear whether he met his entourage or what was said.
Mr Bolsonaro was later seen leaving the palace and traveling to the building where his government office is located.
The president’s controversial statements in the past — such as that “only God” can remove him from office — mean there is a stiff wait for his public appearance. Before the election, he had repeatedly expressed baseless doubts on the voting system.
In his victory speech shortly after the results were released, the 77-year-old Lula touched on Brazil’s ongoing political tensions that have deepened during a bitterly fought and often bitter election campaign.
“This country needs peace and unity. This population does not want to fight anymore,” he said, promising to govern for all Brazilians, not just those who voted for him.
Greetings are being received from all over the world, including the leaders of Britain, China, France, India and Russia. US President Biden said the victory “came after a free, fair and credible election”.
It is a stunning comeback for Lula, a politician who was unable to run in the last presidential election in 2018 because he was in prison and banned from running for office.
