BRAZILLIAN President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has condemned “fascist fanatics” after thousands of ex-president Jair Bolsonaro’s supporters stormed Congress, the Supreme Court and presidential palace then trashed the nation’s highest seats of power.
He also accused the former president of encouraging the uprising which led to the arrests of at least 300 people.
Authorities, including the federal district’s civil police which tweeted the arrest numbers, were investigating following scenes of chaos and destruction reminiscent of the January 6 2021 insurrection at the US Capitol.
