Radical Bolsonarists invade the Presidential Palace of Brazil

Followers of the ex-Brazilian president, the ultra-rightist Jair Bolsonaro today they invaded the Planalto Palace, seat of the Executive, and the Supreme Court, after having previously broken into the National Congress in coup acts against the president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

The windows of the headquarters of the Judiciary and the National Congress were broken by the protesters, who already occupy the buildings of the three powers in the country.

Lula is not in Brasilia today as he is visiting the interior of the state of Sao Paulo.

Patrols of the Legislative Police, which ensures security in Congress, were attacked and the barriers that cordoned off the headquarters of the three powers were destroyed by the protesters.

The anti-democratic acts call for the military intervention of the Armed Forces to overthrow Lula, who assumed the Presidency of Brazil last day 1

The radical Bolsonaristas do not recognize the victory at the polls of Lula, who in the second round of October 30 won with 50.9% of the valid votes compared to 49.1% of Bolsonaro.

The police from the Legislature and the National Security Force, an elite group of agents from different states, fired tear gas to disperse, without success, the protesters, who carried Brazilian flags and some were armed with sticks.

The Minister of Justice, Flávio Dino, who since Saturday had authorized the action of the National Security Force before the arrival in the Brazilian capital of dozens of buses of Bolsonarists, said that the will of the radicals “will not prevail.”

Immediately after the defeat at the polls on October 30, the Bolsonaristas set up camps in front of the barracks in several Brazilian cities and in many places they have remained concentrated for two months.

The acts in Brasilia triggered others in the country, including in Sao Paulo, where Avenida 23 de Maio, one of the main avenues in the city, was blocked by Bolsonarists who prevented the movement of cars near the Congonhas airport.
