Brazil leaders condemn ‘terrorist acts’, vow to defend democracy

More than 1,500 people detained in relation to attack on government buildings in the Brazilian capital, officials say.

The leaders of Brazil’s three branches of government have issued a rare joint statement condemning the storming of government buildings by supporters of former far-right President Jair Bolsonaro.

In a statement on Monday, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva joined the heads of the Supreme Court and the two houses of Congress to reject the acts of political violence that shook the capital, Brasilia, a day earlier.

A lesson for stupid Americans on how you deal with right wing domestic terrorists.
