Supporters of President Jair Bolsonaro clashed with police in Brazil’s capital after an indigenous leader who sought to stop the certification of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was arrested by determination of a top court justice.
TV footage showed cars and buses on fire in Brasilia, and police trying to disperse protesters in different parts of the city with tear gas.
The president-elect is safe and security around his
hotel has been reinforced, according to incoming Justice Minister Flavio Dino and police authorities.
The situation was calm after demonstrators were dispersed overnight. Traffic was slower than usual as police blocked several highways leading to the esplanade of ministries, congress and the Supreme Court.
