Brazil Congress: Lula vows to punish supporters of Bolsonaro after riot

Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has vowed to punish supporters of the country's ex-leader, Jair Bolsonaro, after they stormed Congress.

 

Supporters of the ousted far-right leader also stormed the Supreme Court and surrounded the presidential palace.

 

But police regained control of the buildings in the capital Brasilia on Sunday evening after hours of clashes.

 

Arriving in the city, Lula toured the Supreme Court building to see the damage for himself.

 

Justice Minister Flavio Dino told local media that some 200 people had already been arrested.

 

The Governor of Brasilia, Ibaneis Rocha, has been removed from his post for 90 days by the Supreme Court. Justice Alexandre de Moraes accused him of failing to prevent the riot and of being "painfully silent" in the face of the attack.

 

Pro-democracy rallies are being called by leftist leaders and groups across Brazil.

 

 

The dramatic scenes - which saw thousands of protesters clad in yellow Brazil football shirts and flags overrun police and ransack the heart of the Brazilian state - come just a week after Lula's inauguration.

 

The veteran left-wing leader was forced to declare emergency powers before dispatching the national guard into the capital to restore order.

 

He also ordered the closure of the centre of the capital - including the main avenue where governmental buildings are - for 24 hours.

Mr Dino said some 40 busses which had been used to transport protesters to the capital had been seized and he called the invasion an "absurd attempt to impose [the protesters'] will by force".

 

Mr Bolsonaro has repeatedly refused to accept that he lost October's election and last week left the country instead of taking part in inaugural ceremonies, which would have seen him hand over the iconic presidential sash.

 

The 67-year-old - who is believed to be in Florida - condemned the attack and denied responsibility for encouraging the rioters in a post on Twitter some six hours after violence broke out.

 

 

Speaking before he arrived in Brasilia, Lula said there was "no precedent in the history of our country" for the scenes seen in Brasilia and called the violence the "acts of vandals and fascists".

 

 

And he took aim at security forces whom he accused of "incompetence, bad faith or malice" for failing to stop demonstrators accessing Congress.

 

 

"You will see in the images that they [police officers] are guiding people on the walk to Praca dos Tres Powers," he said. "We are going to find out who the financiers of these vandals who went to Brasilia are and they will all pay with the force of law."

 

Video shared by the Brazilian outlet O Globo showed some officers laughing and taking photos together as demonstrators occupied the congressional campus in the background.

US President Joe Biden tweeted: "I condemn the assault on democracy and on the peaceful transfer of power in Brazil. Brazil's democratic institutions have our full support and the will of the Brazilian people must not be undermined."

 

Some protesters smashed windows, while others reached the Senate chamber, where they jumped on to seats and used benches as slides.

 

Videos on social media show protesters pulling a policeman from his horse and attacking him outside the building.

 

Footage broadcast by national media show police detaining dozens of protesters in their yellow jerseys outside the presidential palace.

 

Other suspects - whose hands were bound behind their backs - are also seen being led out of the building.

 

Protesters had been gathering since morning on the lawns in front of the parliament and up and down the kilometre of the Esplanada avenue, which is lined with government ministries and national monuments.

Security had appeared tight, with the roads closed for about a block around the parliament area and armed police pairs guarding every entrance into the area.

 

 

The BBC had seen about 50 police officers around on Sunday morning local time and cars were turned away at entry points, while those entering on foot were frisked by police checking bags.

 

 

Demonstrators were quick to defend their actions when approached by reporters.

 

 

Lima, a 27-year-old production engineer, said: "We need to re-establish order after this fraudulent election."

 

"I'm here for history, for my daughters," she told AFP news agency.

 

 

Others in the capital expressed outrage at the violence and said the attack marked a sad day for the country.

 

"I voted for Bolsanaro but I don't agree with what they're doing," Daniel Lacerda, 21, told the BBC. "If you don't agree with the president you should just say it and move on, you shouldn't go hold protests and commit all the violence like they're doing."

 

 

And many are drawing comparisons with the storming of the US Capitol on 6 January 2021 by supporters of Donald Trump, an ally of Mr Bolsonaro.

Bolsonaro supporters created camps in cities across Brazil, some of them outside the military barracks. That is because his most ardent supporters want the military to intervene and make good elections that they say were stolen.

 

It looked like their movement had been curbed by Lula's inauguration - the camps in Brasilia had been dismantled and there was no disruption on the day he was sworn in.

 

But Sunday's scenes show that those predictions were premature.

Leaders from Latin America have condemned the violence:

 

Chilean President Gabriel Boric said Brazil had his country's "full support in the face of this cowardly and vile attack on democracy".

 

Colombian President Gustavo Petro said "fascism [had] decided to stage a coup".

 

Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said Mexico expressed "full support for President Lula's administration, elected by popular will".

 

And French President Emmanuel Macron said the "will of the Brazilian people and the democratic institutions must be respected" and pledged the "unfailing support of France" to Lula.

Brazil Congress storming: How did we get here?

Thousands of supporters of Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro have stormed the country's Congress, the Supreme Court and the presidential palace.

 

Wearing shirts in the bright yellow and green of Brazil's flag they vandalised the buildings that house its key democratic institutions. Why is this happening?

 

Brazil held a bitter election two months ago

 

 

The presidential elections in October 2022 pitted the far-right incumbent, Jair Bolsonaro, against his left-wing rival, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, better known known as Lula.

 

Following an acrimonious and bitter campaign, Lula, who was president between January 2003 and December 2010, defeated Mr Bolsonaro by a narrow margin in the run-off on 30 October.

 

 

Lula said the storming was "without precedent" and labelled those behind it "fanatic fascists".

 

He also accused Mr Bolsonaro of encouraging the rioters' actions via social media. "Everybody knows there are various speeches of the ex-president encouraging this," he said.

 

It is a profoundly divided country

 

Brazil is a country which is deeply divided and the storming of its Congress is a dramatic sign of how far some Brazilians are willing to go to attack the democratic institutions which they say no longer represent them.

 

This is not just about left versus right, but about those who refuse to accept the result of a democratic election when it goes against their will, taking out their rage on the symbols of Brazil's democracy.

 

Those who took part in the rioting are on the extreme end of the spectrum but there are many more opponents of Lula who spread false information about him and thereby fanned the flames which led to Sunday's events.

 

Many Bolsonaro supporters refuse to accept his defeat

 

Many of Jair Bolsonaro's supporters saw him as a "saviour" who they said defended values they hold dear, which they listed as "God, fatherland, family".

They placed their hope in Mr Bolsonaro as the man who would defeat Lula, whom they consider a threat to those values, believing false rumours that the left-wing candidate would close down churches once elected.

 

These voters had been convinced that Lula would lose and they did not accept his win quietly.

 

Some camped out in front of military barracks begging the military to stop him from becoming president, even if that would mean a military coup.

 

However, the military did not act and Lula was sworn in as planned.

The rioting in the capital, Brasilia, comes just a week after Lula was sworn into office.

Mr Bolsonaro, who refused to concede defeat, did not attend the ceremony, instead flying to the United States.

 

The anger of those who had pinned all their hopes on Mr Bolsonaro beating Lula only grew.

 

Seeing Lula take office and move into the presidential palace was too much for those who routinely label him a "communist threat to Brazil".

 

Feeling let down by the military, they decided to take matters into their own hands, invading the institutions they feel not only do not represent them, but are, in their eyes, a direct threat to what they hold dear.

 

Extremism and disinformation have taken on a life of their own

Jair Bolsonaro's divisive rhetoric and his questioning of the validity of Brazil's electoral system contributed in large part to the anger on display in Brazil on Sunday.

 

In the run-up to election, he repeatedly claimed that Brazil's electronic voting system was vulnerable to fraud - a claim dismissed by the electoral authorities.

 

But many Brazilians wrongly believe the election was "stolen" even though a challenge lodged by Mr Bolsonaro's party was rejected by the electoral court.

 

Following the rioting, Jair Bolsonaro took to Twitter to reject the accusation made by Lula that he had made several speeches encouraging the unrest in Brasilia.

 

He said that "pillaging and invasions of public buildings as occurred today" were outside the law.

 

But the extremism of those who stormed the country's democratic institutions has taken on a life of its own which will be hard to rein in.
