Meanwhile, the Gaviões do Fiel fans of São Paulo club Corinthians cleared two roadblocks late on Tuesday as they headed from São Paulo to Rio, where they will play Flamengo at the Maracanã stadium on Wednesday evening.

After clearing a section of the Marginal Tiête highway in São Paulo, Corinthians fans hung a banner emblazoned with the words “We are for democracy”, while chanting Lula’s name. As well as being the team of President-elect Lula, Corinthians is known for its opposition to Brazil’s 1964-1985 military dictatorship with the “Democracia Corintiana” movement led by footballers such as Sócrates and Casagrande.

An emerging story is taking place in Brazil. It appears that a large group of Bolsonaro supporters are attempting to break into both the Brazilian Congress building and presidential palace. There have been clashes with military police, and other altercations. https://t.co/7qYSAYOyg5

Brazil’s Folha newspaper is also reporting that the buildings have been secured, saying that police used stun bombs and pepper spray to get protesters out of the buildings.

President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva announced he will sign an emergency decree allowing the federal government to intervene and implement “any measures necessary” to bring order to the capital. The decree will remain in effect until Jan. 31.

“Today is a sad day for the Brazilian nation. We cannot agree with the plundering of the national Congress,” said Valdemar Costa Neto, the head of Mr. Bolsanaro’s right-wing Liberal Party, in a statement. “All orderly demonstrations are legitimate. Disorder has never been part of our nation’s principles. I want to tell you that we vehemently disapprove of this type of attitude and let the law be enforced, strengthening our democracy.” (...)

Alexandre de Moraes, a Supreme Court justice who is also Brazil’s elections chief, tweeted that the justice system will not fail Brazil: “The despicable terrorist attacks on Democracy and Republican Institutions will be held accountable, as well as the financiers, instigators, previous and current public agents who continue in the unlawful conduct of antidemocratic acts. The Judiciary will not fail Brazil!”

President Biden, who was visiting the southern U.S. border, called the protests “outrageous” while Jake Sullivan, his national security adviser, said the United States “condemns any effort to undermine democracy in Brazil.” (...)
“We condemn the attacks on Brazil’s Presidency, Congress, and Supreme Court today,” tweeted U.S. Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken, pledging support for Mr. Lula. “Using violence to attack democratic institutions is always unacceptable.” (...)
Reacting to the storming of government buildings in Brazil, President Emmanuel Macron of France said on Sunday that “the will of the Brazilian people and democratic institutions must be respected.” Writing on Twitter, Mr. Macron said that President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva could count on France’s “unfailing support.”
