Congress closes sessions and reinforces security after explosions at the STF

He also stated that security at the two houses is being reinforced. “It is time to assess the circumstances and for everyone to exercise due caution and precautions. It is natural that, given the event that was reported, it is obvious that all security forces must be on alert at this moment.”

Pacheco regretted what happened and the death of a person. “I am sorry if someone has died, we express all our solidarity and mourn without knowing the circumstances.”

He also recalled the events of January 8, 2023, when hundreds of people invaded and vandalized public buildings in Brasília. “It was very sad and relevant and changed all the security standards of the Three Powers.”

The 2nd vice-president of the Chamber, deputy Sóstenes Cavalcante (PL-RJ), suspended the session after receiving information about the explosions and death. “We have security guards at all access points to guarantee our exit from here to our homes,” he said.

Explosion

Military police officers are sweeping Praça dos Três Poderes after two explosions occurred last night near the STF building. The Fire Department confirmed the death of one person.

Forensics are also on site.

Pedestrian and car access to the Esplanada dos Ministérios was closed as a result of the explosions, which occurred at around 7:30 pm.

In a statement, the STF said that “two loud bangs were heard at the end of the session and the ministers were safely removed from the building.” “Staff and collaborators were also removed as a precautionary measure,” he adds. The public who participated in the session that analyzed action on police lethality in favelas was hastily removed. Explosions were heard after the session ended.
