On January 8 in Brasilia, followers of former President Jair Bolsonaro entered the Plaza of the Three Powers, invaded and seriously destroyed the National Congress, the Supreme Court and the Planalto Palace, the seat of the country's government.

Investigations continue to determine the responsibility of each one of the participants in the events, both those who attacked public buildings, those who financed or promoted the acts and those who, by neglecting their positions of responsibility, made it possible for them to take place.
