This comes a week after newly elected President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was sworn in.
In Brazil, supporters of former President Jair Bolsanaro, who lost his election last year, stormed the capitol Sunday. Government officials said Sunday night they had regained control of their three main government buildings and that they had at least 400 people in custody.
What started off as a peaceful protest, Brazillian officials say ended anything but peaceful. Demonstrators refused to accept the transfer of power from former President Bolsonaro to newly sworn in President Lula. "Once they entered the chamber, some of the very same actions they took were comparable to what we saw in Washington, D.C. in 2021," said Stephen Maynard Caliendo, professor of political science at North Central College. "It's hard to say," he said."There's always been people who have less faith in democracy, and it's not just people from the ideological right.
Bolsonaro did not explicity concede the runoff election but did say he would cooperate with a transfer in power. He tweeted Sunday that peaceful protest is part of democracy, but this is"exceptions to the rule."
