Recently Brazil’s newly elected President Luiz Lula da Silva sworn in as President. Ex-President Bolsonaro supporters violently protested against the Lula and broke into the official govt. buildings.
In Brazil now it’s become a fight between Left Lula De Silva and far-right Bolsonaro.
Since the loss of the election Bolsonaro and his supporters attacked the voting system of the country Brazil.
Bolsonaro left the country for Florida 48 hours before the end of his term.
Pro-Bolsonaro supporters stormed into the key govt. buildings on Sunday, Congress, the presidential palace, and the Supreme court.
Thousands of supporters crossed the security barricades, smashed the windows, climbed the roof, and violently attacked the buildings.
Brazil Supreme court now came into action and suspend the Brasilia governor and investigations begin on the country’s first democratic attack. Police now arrested many protesters.
The motive behind the Pro- Bolsonaro Protesters Attack
Pro-Bolsonaro protesters’ main motive to attack the govt. buildings were to oust current President Lula De Silva and restore the far-right Bolsonaro to power.
They even asked for military intervention and stormed off the buildings.
Ex-President Bolsonaro condemns the pillaging after supporters storm govt. buildings.
He also rejected the accusations made by President Lula that he incited the invasion of the seat of power in Brasilia.

Brazil President Lula Condemned the Attack
Brazil President Lula De Silva addressed the press conference from Sao Paulo and accused Bolsoanro of encouraging this violence on Govt. Buildings and termed them as “fascist fanatics”.
He read a freshly signed decree for the federal government to take control of security in the federal district. “There is no precedent for what they did and these people need to be punished.”
Other world leaders condemn the attack and said that it is an attack on democracy.
Deeply concerned about the news of rioting and vandalism against the State institutions in Brasilia. Democratic traditions must be respected by everyone. We extend our full support to the Brazilian authorities. @LulaOficial

Impresentable ataque a los tres poderes del Estado Brasilero por parte de bolsonaristas.
El gobierno de Brasil cuenta con todo nuestro respaldo frente a este cobarde y vil ataque a la democracia.
