Supporters of Brazil’s far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro on Sunday invaded the country’s Congress, presidential palace and Supreme Court, in a grim echo of the U.S. Capitol invasion two years ago by fans of former President Donald Trump. | Reuters

The sight of thousands of yellow-and-green clad protesters running riot in the capital capped months of tension following the Oct. 30 vote. Bolsonaro, an acolyte of Trump’s who has yet to concede defeat, peddled the false claim that Brazil’s electronic voting system was prone to fraud, spawning a violent movement of election deniers.

There was no immediate word from Bolsonaro, who has barely spoken in public since losing the election. He left Brazil for Florida 48 hours before the end of his mandate and was absent from Lula’s inauguration. The Supreme Court, whose crusading Justice Alexandre de Moraes has been a thorn in the side of Bolsonaro and his supporters, was ransacked by the occupiers, according to social media images that showed protesters shattering the windows of the modernist building.Video widely shared on social media showed a policeman knocked off his horse by shouting demonstrators armed with sticks.

“We condemn the attacks on Brazil’s Presidency, Congress, and Supreme Court,” U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken wrote on Twitter. “Using violence to attack democratic institutions is always unacceptable. We join Lula in urging an immediate end to these actions.”

Pagpasensyahan nyo na ang PDEA, bagong agency lang kasi kaya di pa sila gaanong sanay sa 'DUE DILIGENCE'.
