Thousands of demonstrators bypassed security barricades, climbed on roofs, broke windows
RIO DE JANEIRO — Supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro who refuse to accept his election defeat stormed Congress, the Supreme Court and presidential palace in the capital on Sunday, a week after the inauguration of his leftist rival, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
The former president, who flew to the U.S. ahead of Lula’s inauguration, has not commented on Sunday's events. The social media channels of his three lawmaker sons also were silent. Unlike the 2021 attack in the U.S., it is likely that few officials were working in the Brazilian Congress and Supreme Court on a Sunday.
Federal District Gov. Ibaneis Rocha confirmed on Twitter that he had fired the capital city's head of public security, Anderson Torres.
