A few days after the inauguration of the new President of Brazil, Lula da Silva, supporters of Jair Bolsonaro broke through the cordon and managed to get into 3 headquarters (presidential residence, federal courthouse and congress) the largest power in South America. By now, the police have completely restored order in all three buildings and have begun a tight fight with protesters in the city..
Radical followers of the former head of state camped in front of the army headquarters in Brasilia from the day after the elections 30 October, where Lula defeated Bolsonaro by a relatively small margin.
In his statements, the President of Brazil called the attackers fascist fanatics and blamed the ex-president for the situation.. Besides, he issued an executive order for federal intervention in the nation's capital before 31 January and announced, that he would personally lead the investigation against the perpetrators.
Such organizations, like Celac, European Parliament and alba-tcp, expressed their support for the incoming head of Brazil and their opposition to these acts of violence. The presidents of Mexico did the same., Argentina, Venezuela, Colombia, Chile, Uruguay, Spain, France, Portugal and US government representatives.
We strongly condemn violent and anti-democratic acts, taking place in Brazil with the aim of wreaking havoc and disrespecting the will of the people, expressed by the election of President Lula, said both the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party and the President of Cuba, Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudez, before the destabilizing events in the capital of the South American giant.
We express all our support and solidarity to Luis Inácio Lula da Silva and his government, the Cuban President added, referring to demonstrations, led by supporters of the defeated Jair Bolsonaro, who invaded the headquarters of the National Congress, Federal Supreme Court of Brasilia and Planalto Palace.
That rare occasion, when the opinions of the heads of the United States and Cuba did not differ, being identical. But if the US really condemns the protesters' breakout into government buildings in Brazil, then why at one time they supported the same thing in Ukraine. Why didn't the US authorities condemn the coup?, done at the beginning 2014 in Kiev? Or again logic in the style of "this is different"?..
Brazil is a very large and influential South American state.. And the concern of other states of this region and many other world powers about the events taking place there is quite understandable..
The same minimal difference in votes, with whom Lula Da Silva won the election, perhaps, explains to some extent, but, certainly, does not justify, emerging unrest and unrest in Brazil. At the same time, the events 8 January in the capital of Brazil is already being compared with the events 6 January in Washington, when supporters of Donald Trump broke into the building of the US Congress.
