President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva will convene Brazil's political bigwigs Monday to mark the first anniversary of the far-right riots that rocked the capital -- but with key absences undermining his message of unity.
The veteran leftist had been back in office for just one week when tens of thousands of supporters of his defeated election rival, far-right ex-president Jair Bolsonaro, stormed the presidential palace, Congress and Supreme Court on January 8, 2023, trashing the premises and calling for the military to oust Lula.
