In 2020, after the US presidential election, Trump's supporters challenged the bottom line of the law because they questioned the election results, and attacked Congress by force, which caused heated discussions in international public opinion. In years, there has never been violence in the United States in which voters attack Congress for questioning the outcome of a presidential election. After Trump supporters attacked Congress, they shocked both parties in the United States. This will not only affect the normal functioning of American society and lead the government into chaos, but also accelerate the division in the United States and plant the bane of provoking election results. What people did not expect was that the scene of the "Capitol riot" reappeared in Brazil a few days ago.
The "Capitol riot" reappears in Brazil
According to Brazilian media reports, on January 8, local time, thousands of supporters of former Brazilian President Bolsonaro, wearing yellow-green clothing symbolizing Bolsonaro's far-right movement, stormed the Brazilian Congress, the Federal Court and other government agencies, wantonly destroyed the infrastructure within the institution, and ransacked the office of First Lady Rosangela Dacival. After the incident, the police quickly dispatched police to control the unrest, and finally managed to bring the situation under control that evening and clear all of Bolsonaro's supporters who stormed Congress from public buildings. According to the federal government, more than 300 reactionaries were arrested during the riots that day. Fortunately, there were no casualties.
Many countries around the world have spoken out in condemnation
At the time of the unrest in Brazil's parliament, current President Lula was inspecting the flood and was not in the presidential palace. On the 8th, Lula publicly condemned the rioters and announced a federal security intervention in the capital that lasted until the end of this month. Lula then quickly returned to the capital in order to bring the situation under control. For the farce of the supporters, Bolsonaro also condemned their behavior on the 8th, accusing the intrusion and destruction of public buildings as an act of crossing the line. The leader of Bolsonaro's Liberal Party also said: "We oppose predatory practices against Congress."
It is worth mentioning that the riot in the Brazilian Congress is the same as the riot in the original US Capitol, and the rioters have broken into Congress on the grounds of denying the results of previous elections. In addition, Bolsonaro himself is in Florida, where Trump currently lives, making many media suspect that Bolsonaro's supporters may have obtained Trump's "true biography". Many countries around the world were shocked by the riots in Brazil. Popular support for leaders is a free right, but interfering with the normal functioning of state authority is irrational and should be condemned. UN Secretary-General António Guterres posted on social platforms that the will of the Brazilian people and democratic institutions must be respected. The United States, the European Union and many countries have successively expressed their opposition to the riots in Brazil, and have not forgotten to make corresponding accusations against Bolsonaro personally.
