Supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro who refuse to accept his electoral defeat stormed Congress, the Supreme Court and presidential palace in the capital on Sunday (January 8).
Thousands of demonstrators bypassed security barricades, climbed on the roofs, broke windows and invaded all three buildings, which are connected through the vast Three Powers square in Brasilia.
Some are calling for a military intervention to restore the far-right Mr Bolsonaro to power. The demonstration comes just a week after the inauguration of his leftist rival, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
