The storming of the Brazilian democratic institutions
Parliament expresses solidarity with democratically elected President Lula Da Silva, his government and Brazilian institutions and condemns in the strongest terms the criminal actions perpetrated by supporters of ex-president Bolsonaro, urging them to accept the democratic outcome of the elections.
MEPs welcome the efforts to ensure a prompt and impartial investigation to identify and prosecute those involved, the instigators as well as state institutions that failed to act in order to prevent the attacks.
They highlight a recent decision taken by the Supreme Court to approve federal prosecutors' request to investigate ex-President Bolsonaro as he 'may have contributed, in a very relevant way, to the occurrence of criminal and terrorist acts'.
