Brazil, the assault by Bolsonaro supporters on the Parliament building

It seems to review the images of Capitol Hill, when Donald Trump’s supporters occupied the seat of the American Congress to prevent the proclamation of Joe Biden as the 46th President of the United States.

In Brazil the same thing is happening: thousands of demonstrators, in support of Jair Bolsonarothe former president of Brazil defeated in the presidential runoff on October 30, raided the institutional buildings to protest against the inauguration of the president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

They have already managed to enter the Congress building, the Planalto building (headquarters of the Executive) and, according to some Brazilian media reports, also the building of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal.

They broke through the Military Police blockade, complete with stones and sticks, broke windows, smashed through ceilings, making room for themselves with violence.

Hundreds of policemen crawl out of the Palaces to try to clear out.

Everything happens to Brasiliawhere, however, Lula is not present: in fact, he is in Araraquara, in the state of Sao Paulo, to check the damage caused by the heavy rains that have hit the area in recent days.

In the meantime, Justice Minister Flavio Dino makes the voice of the government heard: «This absurd attempt to impose the will by force will not prevail. The federal district government says there will be reinforcements. And the forces at our disposal are at work. I am in the headquarters of the Ministry of Justice ».
