President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva will mark the first anniversary of the far-right riots in Brazil with a ceremony in Congress . The riots, which took place on January 8, 2023, saw supporters of ex-president Jair Bolsonaro storming Congress , the presidential palace, and the Supreme Court.
Lula will convene a meeting with political leaders to discuss the 'coup attempt' and declare 'democracy unbowed.' However, Bolsonaro's absence undermines Lula's message of unity.
