São Paulo, Brazil — Two years and two days after supporters of former United States President Donald Trump shocked the world with the invasion of the U.S. Capitol, this Sunday, January 8, Brazil lived out its own version of an assault on its government. Grouped in front of the Army headquarters in Brasilia, the demonstrators marched towards Praça dos Três Poderes, where the headquarters of the country’s legislative, judicial and executive powers are located. The mob also destroyed parts of the Planalto Palace, the workplace of current President Lula, who was traveling in the state of São Paulo at the time of the assault on the building.
