'Former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro has responded to accusations he
encouraged "fascist fanatics" to storm Brazil's Congress and other major
institutions.

Bolsonaro supporters who refuse to accept his election defeat stormed Congress,
the Supreme Court and presidential palace yesterday (overnight AEDT), a week
after the inauguration of his leftist rival, President Luiz Inácio Lula da
Silva.

Thousands of demonstrators bypassed security barricades, climbed on roofs,
smashed windows and invaded all three buildings, which were believed to be
largely vacant on the weekend. Some of the demonstrators called for a military
intervention to either restore the far-right Bolsonaro to power or oust Lula
from the presidency.'

Cheers,
