Watch: Pro-Bolsonaro rioters storm Brazil's seat of power; 'Fascist attack' against poll defeat

Following the storming of government buildings in Brazil by pro-Bolsonaro supporters, the Brazilian security forces locked down the area around Congress, the presidential palace and the Supreme Court.

Much like the January 6, 2021 invasion of the US Capitol building by supporters of then-president Donald Trump, backers of former president Jair Bolsonaro broke through police barricades, smashing windows and doors. In response, security forces used tear gas, stun grenades and water cannon to quell the protests.

Newly inaugurated president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva who defeated Jair Bolsonaro in the divisive October elections condemned the invasions as a "fascist" attack.

“These fascist fanatics have done something never before seen in this country's history. We will find out who these vandals are, and they will be brought down with the full force of the law,” Lula said.

Jair Bolsonaro also condemned the "pillaging and invasions of public buildings" in a tweet but defended the right to "peaceful protests."

Police have made 170 arrests following the protests, media reports said.
