Newly-inaugurated President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva has reportedly been evacuated to a secure location
Supporters of right-wing former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro have swarmed the Congress building, climbing its roof and breaking windows on Sunday following weeks of unrest.
Bolsonaro’s successor Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, inaugurated last week, has reportedly been evacuated to an undisclosed secure location.
Video posted to social media shows the rioters attacking the Supreme Court building as well. The court had slapped Bolsonaro with a hefty fine in November over his efforts to challenge the results of the presidential race, accusing him of acting in bad faith.
