Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner said today that the images of the coup attempts in Brasilia “exactly replicate” those of January 6, 2021 in the United States Capitol and that this “is not accidental”, and urged a “deep and stark” analysis of the progress of the “new rights.”
“Today’s images in Brasilia exactly replicate the images of 01/06/2021 at the Washington Capitol. It is not accidental”, said Fernández de Kirchner on his Twitter account.
He then warned that “hate speech in the media and social networksthe stigmatization of those who do not think the same, even wanting to suppress their life and violence are the contemporary sign of the new rights”.
