A day after thousands of supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro stormed Brazil's Congress, Supreme Court and presidential palace authorities launched an investigation and a chorus of condemnation poured in from dignitaries and world leaders. The protesters, who ransacked the government buildings in the capital Brasilia, appeared to be seeking military intervention to either restore far-right Bolsonaro to power or oust his newly inaugurated leftist rival, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Lula narrowly defeated Bolsonaro in a general election in October, and Bolsonaro has stoked claims of electoral fraud. No evidence has emerged to support these allegations. In scenes of chaos and destruction reminiscent of the Jan.
In a news conference late Sunday, authorities said the buildings would be inspected for evidence including fingerprints and images to hold people to account, and that the rioters apparently intended to spark similar actions nationwide. Justice Minister Flávio Dino said the acts amounted to terrorism and coup-mongering and that authorities have begun tracking those who paid for the buses that transported protesters to the capital.
