Bolsonarists invade the Congress, the Presidential Palace and the Supreme Court of Brazil

Hundreds of supporters of the far-right ex-president Jair Bolsonaro invaded Congress, the Supreme Court and the Planalto Presidential Palace, headquarters of powers in Brasilia, causing extensive damage, according to images broadcast by Brazilian television and social networks.

Demonstrators protest against the return to power of leftist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who defeated Bolsonaro in the second round on October 30 and was sworn in as Brazil’s new president a week ago.
