Former President Jair Bolsonaro reacted hours after the invasion in Brasilia to stress the legitimacy of peaceful demonstrations in democracy and to deny any responsibility for what happened.
Jair Bolsonaro took to the social network Twitter at 21.20 (00.20 hours this Monday, in mainland Portugal), some six hours after the start of the invasion in Brasília, to stress the legitimacy of peaceful demonstrations in democracy but consider that “invasions of public buildings elude the rule “.
Peaceful demonstration in the form of a law is part of democracy. However, the looting and invasion of public buildings as happened today, as well as those practiced by the left in 2013 and 2017, escape the norm.
