On January 8, militants of the former president Jair Bolsonaro they caused damage to the headquarters of the Parliament, Presidency and Supreme Court of Brazil, demanding to annul the results of the elections last October. After the incidents, the current president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silvaexpressed his distrust in the country’s military forces for their little intervention in the assaults.
The distrust had direct repercussions in the custody of the Alvorada palace, the name given to the presidential residence. The vast majority of the palace is guarded by Army forces, although it is also guarded by members of the Navy, the Air Force and the militarized police. However, Lula declared the direct complicity of the army and ordered to withdraw 40 soldiers from the body protecting the residence.
Lula: “There were many people who were complicit in this among the military police. There were many people from the armed forces who were complicit”
Although there was no immediate response from the administration about who would replace the 40 members of the troops, the decision was published last Tuesday, January 16, in the official newspaper of the Union.
Who are the soldiers that Lula took from the presidential residence?
According to the G1 news portal, the sections belong to low ranges and they will continue to be linked to the armed forces, although carrying out other activities.
Although the investigations into the incidents continue, the president’s statements seem to show a new gap: the little intentional intervention of the security forces would have allowed chaos in the capital.
“Someone suspected of being a radical Bolsonaro cannot remain in here,” he continued declaring Lula da Silva; who tries to meet with members of the Armed forces and attempts to carry out a “deep review” of members of the military.
So far, the only statements by the former president Jair Bolsonaro They met on Monday through a video, published in Brazilian media, where he regretted “what happened on the 8th.”
