Police in Brazil have arrested hundreds of people and wrested back control of the country’s Congress, presidential palace and Supreme Court from rioting supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro.
In a tweet on Sunday, the police said at least 300 people had been detained in the capital, Brasilia, after the rampage by thousands of Bolsonaro’s supporters who refuse to accept his election defeat – a grim echo of the invasion of the United States Capitol two years ago by die-hard supporters of former President Donald Trump.
“Investigations will continue until the last member is identified,” the police promised.
There were no immediate reports of deaths or injuries from Sunday’s assault, but the invaders left a trail of destruction, throwing furniture through the smashed windows of the presidential palace, flooding parts of Congress with a sprinkler system and ransacking ceremonial rooms in the Supreme Court.
The uprising, which lasted a little over three hours, underlined the severe polarisation that still grips the country days after the inauguration of leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who narrowly defeated Bolsonaro in the October election.
In a news conference from Sao Paulo state, Lula accused Bolsonaro of encouraging the rioting by those he termed “fascist fanatics,” and read a freshly signed decree for the federal government to take control of security in Brasilia.
“There is no precedent for what they did,” Lula said.
“All these people who did this will be found and they will be punished.”
The president then flew back to Brasilia to tour the ransacked buildings and oversee the response, Brazil’s TV Globo reported.
The far-right Bolsonaro, who has yet to concede defeat and who flew to the US state of Florida days before the end of his term, was silent for nearly six hours about the chaos in Brasilia. Following Lula’s accusations, he posted a tweet denouncing “pillaging and invasions of public buildings” and said he rejected the president’s allegations.
US President Joe Biden called the events an “assault on democracy and on the peaceful transfer of power,” adding that Brazil’s democratic institutions had Washington’s full support.
European Council President Charles Michel tweeted his “absolute condemnation”, and French President Emmanuel Macron called for respect of Brazil’s institutions and sent Lula “France’s unwavering support”.
A raft of Latin American leaders spoke out, with Chilean President Gabriel Boric denouncing a “cowardly and vile attack on democracy” and Mexico’s Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador calling it a “reprehensible coup attempt”.
Several Democratic lawmakers in the US meanwhile said Washington could no longer grant Bolsonaro “refuge” in the country.
“We must stand in solidarity with [Lula’s] democratically elected government,” tweeted Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. “The US must cease granting refuge to Bolsonaro in Florida.”
Analysts in Brazil meanwhile called for an investigation into Bolsonaro’s role in the violence.
“For sure this was a coup attempt on the part of Bolsonaro’s most radical supporters,” said Vinicius Vieira, an associate professor of economics and international relations at the Armando Alvares Penteado Foundation.
The heads of both houses of Congress also condemned the attacks publicly with House Speaker Arthur Lira saying the Brazilian parliament “will never give room for turmoil, destruction and vandalism”.
Senate Speaker Rodrigo Pacheco also said he “vehemently repudiates these anti-democratic acts, which must urgently face the rigour of the law”.
A journalists’ union said at least five reporters were attacked, including an AFP news agency photographer who was beaten by protesters and had his equipment stolen.
