Protestors swarm Brazil’s Congress



Thousands of protestors stormed the country’s capital, protesting October’s election results, a scene reminiscent of the January 6th attacks. Supporters of far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro were unwilling to accept his defeat to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The protests come a week after Lula’s inauguration.

  1. Krl q vergonha, como é q o brasil deixou UNS VELHO DO FACEBOOK invadir o congresso q odio

  2. What the media calls insurrection, is in reality, revolution. They are sick and tired of not being heard. They want to know if the election was fare cause most everyone in the country does not want socialism and left wing ideology. They saw what happened in venezuela. Strange how the media does not cover venezuela.

  3. i saw white skin Brazilians raiding but saw a black Brazilian being taken away by police…i guess whatever crime the white Brazilians commit they blame it on the black Brazilians…but i couldn't see any black Brazilians doing the crime..

  4. I noticed Biden isn't including them Brazilian people in his 30,000 citizenship allowance he passed on us without our input or say so.

  5. "Rair Bolsonaro" foi foda hahahahah. O pessoal acha que a gente fala espanhol mermo, é pá sifudê uma coisa dessa viu

  6. Alexandre de Moraes removed Ibaneis from office as governor of the Federal District without a request from investigative or parliamentary bodies; this is the 1st time that a magistrate removed a state chief executive from office without a request to that effect. (Gazeta Brasil)🇧🇷😔

  7. Lula 🇧🇷❤️🇧🇷❤️🇧🇷❤️🇧🇷❤️🇧🇷❤️
    What a relief to be free from the violent, assassination milicias of bolsonaro and Bolsominios.
    We that support Lula we were threatened, embarrassed, humiliated, mocked, suffered violence, persecution but we knew we would vote Lula 🇧🇷❤️🇧🇷❤️ back in.
    Finally a relief of the evil government that killed poor, blacks, indegenous, florets and animals.

  8. They learned this BS from the US, how sad that other countries learn and mimic the bad from here in the US. I guess we are no longer an example of a civilized country. Shady politicians from other countries even come over here to infiltrate our government because of the gop's crap. I want to join our thugs.

  9. I didnt know brazilians also copied americans like the peruvians do

  10. That many people participating, clearly they feel the election was fixed. Kind of sounds like the US elections

  11. that the new trend now ?

  12. What a shame, what a sadness, our people going to prison, for 🦑 who shouldn't even have left there, irrefutable evidence of their arrest The Odebrecht case is still there, here all the bandits in suits have been released, they want our country now to recover unite with other communist countries that destroyed and continue, their people. Several social accounts banned by censorship, whoever speaks is arrested or has their account banned

  13. The People are sick of rigged elections!

  14. The damage that lula did and is going do to Brazil don’t even compare to this!

  15. What is true is true.

    Today it is not about a political or personal view. It is about not allowing them to blind you from basic human values.

    I invite the readers to have discernment in evaluating true facts before assuming this media content is fully true. Any unbiased journalists with integrity can research the true facts.

    Lula's worker's party milícia members invaded the congress vandalizing the building accusing pacific activists of the acts and causing the arrest and death of innocent people. Videos of the truth vandals have circulated the internet showing proof that the pacific activists stood against their actions as well as their true identities: Lula's supporters.

    Not all of Brazilians support or agree with Bolsonaro, specially with his "not so diplomatic" speeches. However, they believe any candidate would be better than Lula or his party.

    Brazilians are protesting for allegedly freeing of Lula from prison, allowing a convict to run for presidency and to take the office. Lula is not innocent and anyone who supports him is endorsing the crime, reason why decent Brazilians are against PT and Lula's coup to take the office by force, or PT's own words "Make a deal with the devil if necessary."

    The discontent is due to over eighteen years of stealing from the poor and not addressing poverty so PT could continue to bribe families with a lunch. See Bolsa Família: program which should be used temporarily for the needy while long term programs are implemented such as creation of jobs and resources. Instead, the money went to the pockets of many in power, not the poor.

    Lula was found guilty for participating in frauds which caused the wiping out Brazil's public funds as well as the wipe out of American's retirement funds: See Petrobras case Odebrecht and many more. Lula went to jail guilty for his crimes. Brazilians woke up to the fact that taxpayers work five months out of the year to finance the government, and want the funds properly administered for the good of the country and not stolen on their faces. Re-electing a thief was the cause of many to vote for Bolsonaro in opposition to allowing Lula to return to the crime scene.

    After the vandalism event four deaths have been confirmed inside of the "concentration camp" Lula kept hundreds of innocents hostage with minimal food or medical attention. One militia member Ana Priscila Azevedo which hates Bolsonaro and "wants anyone who supports him dead" is seeing on videos circulating on the internet dressed up in a Brazilian vandalizing the building. She has already being identified by Brazilians as one of Lula's militia leaders during the invasion, as a maneuver to defame the activists. On her video she screams "Mission given, mission accomplished!" and celebrates while innocent men, women and elderly are arrested. There are also vídeos showing PT milícia already inside of the congress during the vandalism act and not outside with pacific activists which were screaming "Do not break!" repeatedly.

    PT and Lula plans and finances the attack in order to oprime democracy and to damage the reputation of the peaceful activists who have demonstrated on the streets their discontent since November against Lula and PT party. The protests could damage Lula's image as Brazilians still persisted even after he took office. PT milícia tried to infiltrate other protests, but were identified and removed by the police. However, the movement took off and was growing as millions hit the streets. Lula fears an impeachment and acts once again to hide the truth and create caos.

    Most of Brazil's media and international affiliates as well as celebrities are twisting the facts for personal gains or political interests in order to influence the uninformed. Bolsonaro stood firm against media manipulation and repurposed Rouanet Law to its original intent and not to finance rich celebrities, its majority affiliated to Globo. Lula stands against democracy by censoring and persecuting even individuals who posts the true or mentions his crimes. It has been forbidden to call him a thief. Lula hopes the uninformed will forget or believe he is innocent, but Brazilians refuse to.

    Bolsonaro regardless of his lack of diplomacy and political mistakes on his policies was the best president Brazil could have as he attempted to amend the hole left by destructive PT policies and stealing. Bolsonaro appointees were technical people and their policies caused economic growth even in face of a pandemic when other countries struggled. Lula appoints his supporters based of influence and not their technical knowledge which is catastrophic for the economy.

    Bolsonaro is the first president to address Brazil's demographic issues in the North East region by creating jobs, bringing water, land for many amongst many other programs. He also reduced the size of estate offices cutting unnecessary expenses. Lula already instituted several new offices and increased the salary of politics, but no mention of addressing poverty once for all, and not only thru welfarism. The truth is that any president even Bolsonaro "as is" would be the "only good option" for the presidency of Brazil.

    Brazilians finally started to demonstrate patriotism as Bolsonaro fought against corruption. He was brave enough to face and to stand against the "system" and that is why he suffered an attack. See: Bolsonaro is stabbed. He also caused many corrupt and powerful folks to feel threatened by his courage.

    Anti Lula activists as sells as Bolsonaro have declared in all social media channels that they do not support the violence which MST milícia and PT guerrillas apply on their invasions, and have encouraged all of his supporters to remain within the parameters of the constitution, which they have as many vídeos show. On the other hand Lula is causing division in the country, persecuting those who had judged him and proved him guilty within the parameters of the law.

    Be informed. The truth is only one. Anti Lula or pro-Bolsonaro, they are not guilty, Lula is.

  16. January 6th here in the US was planned and initiated by the criminal liberals.

  17. Before that, they will have to review all the media opposition attacks from Globo and CNN, against the previous government.
    Brazilian and US lawmakers seek cooperation in investigating Brasilia riots

  18. Tremendas mentiras y pura propaganda comunista de tve y la pagamos por informar nada más no para que nos haga comunistas.

  19. Both sides can take a step back or a step forward. These folks haven't really learn much.

  20. EVM electronic voting machines are used by Europeans to keep puppets in South America, Africa, Asia.
    Go back to paper ballot for truthful elections

  21. When they steæl elections what else are the honorable citizens to do?

  22. Liars! mentirosos! Lula was in jail for corruption!

  23. TREMENDO GENOCIDIO PERPETRADO POR RTVE AMORDAZANDONOS DURANTE AÑOS DE GENOCIDIO AMORDAZADOS FUIMOS ASESINADOS VILMENTE.

  24. TREMENDO GENOCIDIO PERPETRADO POR RTVE EN ESPAÑA DURANTE AÑOS.
    AMORDAZANDONOS ANONIMAMENTE BORRANDONOS TODAS LAS DENUNCIAS.
    HASTA AHORA MISMO TAMBIEN BORRANDOME IGUAL.

  25. TREMENDO GENOCIDIO DE RTVE AMORDAZANDO A TODO ESPAÑA DURANTE AÑOS HASTA HOY MISMO.

  26. Good Brasilians. Love from Poland

  27. even though I'm Brazilian too, I HATE THIS SITUATION, Brazil is going to be frowned upon, more than it already was 😞 lol

  28. One cannot talk about the current situation in Brazil without taking into account the fact that the Supreme Court no longer respects the constitution, the division and independence of the Three Powers, the Public Prosecutor's Office, the legal due process, and acts as a political agent. Alexandre de Moraes ignored the constitutional right of parliamentary immunity of deputies and started to arrest, suspend out of office and blocked their accounts on social networks. He ignored the popular vote and ousted mayors and governors he considers opposition under the allegation of anti-democratic actions. He also ignored the legal due process by acting as a victim, whistleblower, investigator, prosecutor and judge of ordinary citizens. As President of the Electoral Court, he was partial to Lula to the detriment of the opposition candidate.- This being the reason for the population's revolt.- He implemented prior censorship. All these actions are expressly prohibited by the constitution. The only possible comparison with current events is with what happened in VENEZUELA. Comparing them to the US is a fallacy, misinformation and an act of bad faith. Brazil has become a judiciary dictatorship.

  29. It was staged by the Illuminati to make people against using force against a bad government or in general. Where were the police when crimes were happening? And if it isn’t staged then the guy who only won the election because of voter fraud, you can see the differences in the amount of supporters in Brazil for the “ far- right candidate” versus the Illuminati member candidate who used election fraud to win in there rally’s. It’s as clear as day if you ask people in Brazil who they support.

  30. Lula beign a communist and having friends like Maduro, Kadafi, Bashar, not to say his party PT (Partido dos Trabalhadores) supporters, have been known to invade and damage government facilities before, Lula has been investigated and arrested for corruption in 2018 but his friends on the top released him, it was strictly forbiden for ex-convicts to run for government office but that changed as soon as Lula was released, he was part of the communist terrorists that tried to impose communism in Brazil during the military government in the 60's, this guy and his possy are the definition of evil, we don't want our country ran by someone like him

  31. Lula President and Minister Alexandre de Moraes are thugs, Fraud Eleiçoes 2022. DOIS BANDIDOS MARGINAIS deveriam ser Presos.!

  32. We really tried to save our country, but unfortunately organized crime, led by EX-PRESIDIARY: LUÍS INÁCIO LULA DA SILVA was more cunning, they attacked the people until the last minute! They ignored our cry for help and disgust as if we were nothing. They arrested everyone who rebelled at the police stations. Four people have already died in prison, there are many elderly people and children. We feel in Nazi Germany, we scream for help, but not even our Brazilian army protects us anymore. They talk about democracy, but they don't respect the popular will, they talk about freedom, but they don't respect our repudiation and opinion about them. Jair Messias Bolsonaro was the last president elected by popular will, I leave it on record. Brazil will no longer smile, we are a dead people.

  33. We can donate Brazil's trusty voting machines for all democracies.

  34. Was trump around??? Thanks this is a example

  35. A global left vs right fight may be coming sooner than later.
