The president of Brazil He criticized the slow action of the Police after a group of supporters of Jair Bolsonaro attacked various government buildings, including Congress and the presidential house. Lula da Silva spoke about this situation with the governor of Brasilia, who was removed from office for 90 days by the Supreme Court after this situation that reminded the world of the attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
The neighboring nation’s president’s comments were quite harsh because he stated that “the Brasilia Police and intelligence neglected the threat,” since the group of protesters who carried out this terrorist attack had been camped out in front of the army barracks several days ago. “It is very easy to see in the videos how the police officers talked to the attackers. There was an explicit coexistence between both sides,” said the president of Brazil and indicated that he will do everything possible to find out who financed the protesters.

It was for this reason that the Supreme Court decided to remove the governor of the capital of Brazil, whom they pointed out as the main culprit. Hours before his dismissal, the politician who was very close to Jair Bolsonaro had apologized to the new president by saying that “what happened in our city is simply unacceptable.”
For now, the government from the South American country carried out an intervention in the federal area that will last until January 31while from the Supreme Court they gave the go-ahead to the security forces to remove the protesters who are in any government building.
“Whoever did this will be found and punished. Democracy guarantees the right to free expression, but it also requires that people respect institutions. There is no precedent in the country’s history of what they did today. That’s why they should be punished.“, sentenced Lula da Silva.
They ask for the extradition of Bolsonaro
The former Brazilian president may be extradited from the United States back to Brazil following a request from legislator Erika Hilton due to the violent demonstrations that occurred in the South American capital. The politician has not yet commented on the attack that occurred in Congress.
Although from the United States they did not affirm that they will continue with this legal section, they did say that Bolsonaro entered with a diplomatic visa and that if his situation does not change, he will be deported for being illegally.
However, it is not known how this issue will continue, given that the former president had to undergo abdominal surgery again for the assassination attempt he suffered during the 2018 presidential campaign.
