Bolsonaro supporters storm grounds in front of Brazil's Congress

The area around the congress had been cordoned off by the authorities. Bolsonaro's supporters, who do not accept Lula's victory in the presidential election, overcame the barriers. Several dozen of them ran up the ramp to the building to occupy the roof of the building.

The Senate and the House of Representatives are located in the Congress building. The images brought back memories of the storming of the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
