Thousands of supporters of Brazil’s former president, Jair Bolsonaro, stormed the nation’s Congress and presidential offices on Sunday protesting the results of the recent election. The breach comes a week after the inauguration of now president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro has repeatedly attacked the integrity of the country’s recent presidential election in which he lost to Lula. Justice Minister Flavio Dino said, “This absurd attempt to impose their will by force will not prevail.”
