Thousands of supporters of Brazil's ousted far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro invaded and defaced the country's Congress, Supreme Court and the presidential palace
"The violent attacks on democratic institutions are an attack on democracy that cannot be tolerated," German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Monday. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak condemned any bid to undermine the peaceful transfer of power.
Justice Minister Flavio Dino said 200 demonstrators had been arrested. Governor Rocha, writing on Twitter before the court announced its move, put the number at 400. The occupation of the government buildings had been planned for at least two weeks by Bolsonaro's supporters in groups on social media messaging platforms such as Telegram and Twitter, yet there was no move by security forces to prevent the attack, called by one group "the seizure of power by the people."
The plan included camping in front of Brasilia's army command headquarters, where demonstrators have been since Lula narrowly won the election in October.
