Thousands of supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro broke through security barriers in the capital of Brasilia on Sunday and invaded Congress, the supreme court and the presidential palace to protest his election loss.
President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva wasn’t in the palace. Police used pepper spray in an unsuccessful attempt to control the protesters earlier Sunday. Security forces were able to clear the supreme court of rioters who had stormed into the building.
The protesters were still inside the congressional building as of Sunday afternoon.
