Supporters of the former Brazilian President attacked and occupied the Congress building over the weekend.

Two weeks ago, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was sworn in as the elected President of Brazil following a tumultuous political clash between himself and the incumbent candidate, Jair Bolsonaro. During the election, Bolsonaro repeatedly claimed that, if he did not win, neither he nor his followers would accept it, setting up a similar situation to the infamous attack on the US Capitol in 2021. This past weekend, that promise has come to pass.

On Sunday, a massive mob of Bolsonaro’s supporters stormed the Brazilian Congress building, breaking through barriers and damaging property in an effort to occupy the building. While there did not appear to be a singular demand from the mob, some of its members demanded that Lula be removed as President and Bolsonaro reinstated.

In a news conference, Lula signed a decree ordering government authorities to take control of the situation. “There is no precedent for what they did and these people need to be punished,” Lula said.

Other world governments have chastised Bolsonaro for encouraging this incident, and pledged support to Lula. “The violent attempts to undermine democracy in Brazil are unjustifiable,” tweeted British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly. “President @LulaOficial and the government of Brazil have the full support of the UK.”

As for Bolsonaro himself, he is not in Brazil right now. Bolsonaro is currently believed to be living somewhere in Orlando, Florida, having flown out of the country days before Lula was sworn in. Brazilian authorities have urged US authorities to extradite Bolsonaro back to Brazil.
