After the storming of the government district in Brazil’s capital Brasília, the military involved are now feeling the consequences: at least 40 were fired by head of state Lula.
At least 40 members of the Brazilian military have been relieved of their duties in the presidential residence after the storming of the government district in Brasília.
Corresponding decrees were published in the official gazette of the government on Tuesday (local time). The most affected are lower-ranking military personnel such as privates, privates and non-commissioned officers, who worked in the administration and security services of the “Palácio da Alvorada”, the residence of the newly sworn President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, in the capital Brasília.
Bolsonaro supporters behind riots
On January 8, supporters of President Jair Bolsonaro, who had just been replaced by Lula, stormed Congress, the seat of government and the Supreme Court in Brasília, causing extensive damage. Around 1,500 Bolsonaro sympathizers have been arrested for the time being. Left-wing politician Lula accused his right-wing predecessor of inciting his supporters, which Bolsonaro denies.
In addition, Lula expressed the suspicion that there must have been collusion between the rioters and members of the armed forces and the federal police of the capital district. The Attorney General’s Office launched an investigation on Tuesday to probe the possible responsibility of politicians and the military.
The first 39 charges against Bolsonaro supporters allegedly involved in the riots were filed on Monday. They are accused, among other things, of forming an armed criminal organization, damaging public property and attempting a coup d’etat. In addition, the public prosecutor’s office called for pre-trial detention for the accused.
