Brazil/Brasil: supporters of former far-right president Jair Bolsonaro invade Congress
The area had been cordoned off by the authorities but the Bolsonarists, who refuse to accept the election of Lula.

A week after the inauguration of (Left) Social Democrat President Lula, a high place of power in Brazil is shaken by clashes. Supporters of former far-right president Jair Bolsonaro invaded Congress in Brasilia on Sunday, January 8.

The area around the Congress had been cordoned off by the authorities, but the Bolsonarists who refuse to accept the election of Lula managed to break the security cordons and several dozen of them managed to climb the ramp of this building with modern architecture to occupy the roof. They then entered the building, ransacking the furniture present in the building.
The impressive images, reminiscent of the invasion of the Capitol in the United States by supporters of Donald Trump, show a real human tide flowing towards Congress. This building brings together the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate.


==> The point ? I think it's a failure for Bolsonarists: people want peace and not civil war just because one side lost legit elections.
Not sure if social medias are helping in maintaining the stability. Echo chambers are dangerous.

i wonder where they got the idea...

Cant wait to see the republican spin on this where Tucker praises these sub tier humans for trying to start a civil war and then probably insulting republican americans for not trying harder

good

Not sure if Tucker will explain that alot of moderates from the right wing party will vote left simply because they saw this mess on TV.
I guess it will aslo motivate the undecided to vote. Scarecrow.

On a side note (doesn't change much the way how this event impact Brasil/Brazil image)

"The invasion of Congress and the presidential palace seems to have been done quite easily by the demonstrators," said the specialist in Latin America.
"There was no one there, Congress was not in session" and "the building was empty and apparently quite unprotected." According to him, the protesters were able to "quite easily overtake the police force" who "try to avoid too much violence".

lol every one op declared the election was legit........



if they watched lefties they be burning the place

Looks like a bunch of protesters.

Police will come, chases them off the premises / arrests a bunch, solved.

How on Earth is this a coup.

Read up about Euromaidan if you want to know about a coup

what it looks like when antif/blm leftie thugs take to the streets. hard to believe when they act like they so so so so appalled by "violence"
