‘A lot of people from the military police and the armed forces were complicit,’ da Silva said earlier this week
President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva fired Brazil’s army chief Saturday just days after the leftist leader openly said that some military members allowed the Jan. 8 riot in the capital by far-right protesters.
Lula made no comments about the army change Saturday, when he was visiting Roraima state to follow up on the declaration of a health emergency in the Indigenous Yanomami’s region. During a breakfast with the press, Lula said earlier this week that “a lot of people from the military police and the armed forces were complicit” and had allowed protesters to enter the buildings with open doors. In another interview, the president said that “all the military involved in the coup attempt will be punished, no matter the rank.”
On the eve of Arruda’s firing, a video of a Paiva speech earlier in the week was released in which he said the election results should be respected in order to guarantee democracy.
