Supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro are being taken from their camp in Brasilia, the Brazilian capital, and loaded onto buses a day after Sunday’s attack on public buildings.
The military gave the ‘Bolsonaristas’ a period of one hour to leave the Brasilia camp and their departure seems to be taking place without resistance.
The camp was set up by groups of radical ‘Bolsonaristas’ who did not accept the result of the second round of the presidential elections, camping in front of the Army Headquarters in Brasilia since October 30, 2022.
According to local media, at least 1,200 people were detained by the Federal Police in front of the Army headquarters and are being transferred to the Federal Police headquarters in at least 40 buses.
Camps located next to military units throughout the country are in areas of restricted movement.
Supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro invaded and vandalized the headquarters of the Federal Supreme Court, Congress and the Planalto Palace in Brasilia on Sunday, forcing police to intervene to restore order and drawing condemnation from the international community.
The Military Police managed to retake control of the headquarters of the three powers, in an operation that resulted in at least 300 detainees.
The invasion began after militants from the Brazilian extreme right, supporters of the former president, defeated by Lula da Silva in last October’s elections, called a protest on the Esplanada dos Ministérios.
However, the judge of the Federal Supreme Court Alexandre de Moraes dismissed the governor of the Federal District, Ibaneis Rocha, for 90 days, considering that both the governor and the former Secretary of Security and former Minister of Justice of Bolsonaro Anderson Torres have acted with negligence and omission .
