President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Bolsonaro's leftist rival who took office on Jan. 1 after a narrow October election win, promised to bring those responsible for the violence to justice, after demonstrators broke windows and furniture, destroyed artwork and stole guns and artifacts. An investigator inspects the damage after a riot by supporters of Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro, at a government building in Brasilia on Monday.
The assault raised questions among allies of Lula, as he is familiarly known, about how security forces in the capital were so unprepared and easily overwhelmed by rioters who had discussed plans on social media for days about gathering for weekend demonstrations. Messages seen by Reuters throughout the week showed members of such groups organizing meeting points in several cities around the country, from where chartered buses would leave for Brasilia, with the intention to occupy public buildings.The plan included camping in front of Brasilia's army command headquarters, where demonstrators have been since October.
Police retook the damaged public buildings in the capital after three hours and dispersed the crowd with tear gas.
