Planalto Presidential Palace security members inspect offices damaged by supporters of Brazilian former President Jair Bolsonaro after an invasion in Brasilia on January 9, 2023. Brazilian security forces locked down the area around Congress, the presidential palace and the Supreme Court Monday, a day after supporters of ex-president Jair Bolsonaro stormed the seat of power in riots that triggered an international outcry. In stunning scenes reminiscent of the Jan. 6, 2021 invasion of the US Capitol building by supporters of then-president Donald Trump, backers of Bolsonaro broke through police cordons and overran the seats of power in Brasilia, smashing windows and doors and ransacking offices.
