Supporters of Brazil’s former far-right President Jair Bolsonaro on Sunday invaded the Supreme Court, the Congress building and surrounded the presidential palace in Brasilia.
Images on social media show what looks like thousands of people, many draped in the yellow and green of the Brazil flag, streaming up the steps of the National Congress building in the capital city.
Protesters also surrounded the Planalto Palace, according to Reuters, and have now entered the Supreme Court.
The Federal Police helicopter is circling the Brazil’s capital since the beginning of the incident.
The helicopter AW119Ke is flying since over one hour.
Local media estimate that about 3,000 people are involved.
