Brazilians Storm National Congress Over Bolsonaro Losing Election

Brazil seems going through its own January sixth minute — simply a couple days after the 2-year anniversary of our own, no less — all due to the fact that Jair Bolsonaro lost the election.

The ex-Brazilian Prez — who helmed a conservative very first term, and was looking for a second in the 2022 Brazilian basic election — was leading of mind Sunday for countless his fans … who came down upon the National Congress in Brasilia throughout what rapidly ended up being a riot.

Tons of video is appearing online that reveals the mob breaching barriers and storming previous officers to get into the Congress structure, along with the Supreme Federal Court and even the Presidential Palace itself, where just-sworn in President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva now lives.

It appears all the structures in concern were empty previous to the burglaries, however this sight is an unsightly one to state the least — and extremely reminiscent to what happened at our Capitol.

The rioters are turning the premises upside down … damaging home and getting in locations where they would certainly never ever have the ability to reach under regular scenarios. Just like here in the States, they appear to have actually busted through windows and locked doors — and are making themselves in your home in a disorderly scene. A great deal of them are curtained in Brazilian flags.

Some reports suggest that an excellent quantity of these folks are in fact equipped, and threatening to inhabit the properties for as long as it considers their needs to be fulfilled — which appear to depend on the truth that they believe the election was taken. Why does that noise familiar?

As for the reaction … Brazil’s Minister of Justice, Flavio Dino, is reported to have actually stated he’ll utilize the complete level of the law to prosecute these vandals — however at the minute, it does not appear like the authorities on the ground are having much luck in getting ’em the hell out of there.

Just like they were here, police is totally surpassed and being overrun by civilians … and a few of the clashes have actually turned rather violent.

It’s in fact amazing just how much this parallels what occurred here in the States — a few of the photos are nearly similar — with rioters getting in workplaces, taking computer systems and positioning for selfies all throughout the location and commemorating their illegal seepage.

Remember, we saw this precise kind of habits ourselves … the only distinction being that our legislators remained in the middle of a live session, and needed to go into hiding.

This existing tried coup is happening on the weekend — when federal employees and chosen authorities aren’t around, it appears — however it’s no less discomforting to view unfold live.

Time will inform what comes of this in Brazil. As we understand, there was an unique congressional committee formed that went into the origins of Jan. 6 — and they concluded by blaming Donald Trump … declaring he prompted the insurrectionists and must be prosecuted.
