After the violent takeover of the institutions that his followers carried out this Sunday, Jair Bolsonaro broke his silence and spoke about the incidents that took place in Brasilia.
It was through his Twitter account where the former president of Brazil condemned the actions of the protesters and responded to the current president, Lula da Silva, who singled him out for the act and described it as “genocidal”.
“Peaceful demonstrations, in the form of law, are part of democracy. However, the looting and invasion of public buildings such as those that occurred today, as well as those practiced by the left in 2013 and 2017, escape the rule“, tweeted who is installed in Orlando, USA.
And he added: “Throughout my mandate I have always complied with the four lines of the Constitution, respecting and defending the laws, democracy, transparency and our sacred freedom”.
Finally, in a last post, he concluded: “Furthermore, I repudiate the allegations, devoid of proof, which the current Brazilian chief executive has attributed to me”.
During this Sunday, hundreds of followers of the former Brazilian president occupied the seat of the National Congress, the Presidential Palace and the seat of the Supreme Court of Brazil. His goal was to ask military intervention to overthrow Lula da Silvawho retook the presidency just a week ago.
They were more than four hours of tension due to the scale of clashes between people who invaded government buildings and the authorities. After that bout of incidents, police were reported to have regained control of the buildings and managed to clear out the protesters.
The operation included tear gas and confrontations, and he walked away at least 400 prisoners, who were taken to the headquarters of the Civil Police (investigations) in Brasilia after the governor of Brasilia, Ibaneis Rocha, dismissed the secretary of security of the capital, Anderson Torres, Bolsonaro’s former justice minister, from his post, accused of having vacated area.
