Havana, January 8 (RHC)-- The Cuban chapter of the Network of Intellectuals in Defense of Humanity (Redh) today ratified its defense of Brazilian President Luis Inacio Lula Da Silva.
"Right now the Bolsonarist extreme right is carrying out a coup d'état in the purest Trumpist style!!!, denounced on his Twitter account José Ernesto Novaez, coordinator of that movement in the Caribbean island and ratified the support for Lula and democracy in the South American giant.
Radical demonstrators, supporters of the former president Jair Bolsonaro, invaded this Sunday in Brasilia the headquarters of the National Congress, the Supreme Court and the Planalto Palace, bastion of the executive power.
Before the incursions, Military Police officers tried to contain the Bolsonaristas (followers of the ex-military), armed with sticks and stones, with pepper spray, however, they penetrated the containment areas of the buildings in the Three Powers Square.
Television media reported that the windows of the Congress headquarters are broken and that the Bolsonaristas reached the Green Room of the Chamber of Deputies, the area that gives access to the plenary of the assembly.
The agents also used moral effect bombs to try to stop the participants in the coup and anti-democratic acts, as described by political analysts in different TV stations.
After breaking into the National Congress, those dissatisfied with the victory and assumption of power of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva entered the Federal Supreme Court.
There, they broke the glass of the façade, entered the building and reached the plenary.
Likewise, at the Planalto Palace, the radicals reached the fourth floor and ransacked the Executive Power headquarters.
The Minister of Justice, Flavio Dino, called the anti-democratic acts absurd and affirmed that "the attempt to impose the will by force will not prevail".
Dino informed that the Government of the Federal District informed that "there will be reinforcement". So far, the Military Police has not expressed its opinion on the invasions.
