Rioters have invaded and ransacked Brazil's Congress, presidential palace and Supreme Court - in a grim echo of the US Capitol riots two years ago by fans of former President Donald Trump.
The uprising, which lasted just over three hours, marked the severe polarisation that still grips the country.in one of the tightest presidential races, with just 50.9% of the votes.The current Brazilian president, known as Lula, described the vandals on Sunday as"fanatical fascists" who"did what has never been done in the history of this country".
In the following days, truckers were among the Bolsonaro supporters who blocked roads throughout the country after his defeat. Many protesters were anticipating that a report by the Ministry of Defence, which Mr Bolsonaro has sought to involve in election oversight, would substantiate their claims. He added that he sometimes kneels down in front of the military building to pray."I'll stay here as long as necessary. We are peaceful but we will never, ever leave our country in the hands of communists," he said.On 22 November, Mr Bolsonaro challenged the results of the Brazilian election and argued that votes from some machines should be"invalidated" in a complaint that was later rebuffed by election authorities.
Protesters have also condemned the shutting down of many pro-Bolsonaro accounts and groups on social media platforms - describing it as akin to censorship.Protesters move a tyre as they block highway BR-060On Christmas Eve, a man identified as George Washington de Oliveira Sousa was arrested for attempting to set off a bomb in protest against Brazil's election results.
