“Bolsonaro's supporters have been organising these attacks on their Telegram channels, and during the past week buses carrying hundreds of people have been arriving in Brasilia. So it came as a surprise that the security forces in Brasilia were so slow to act, and this has cast some doubts about their loyalties because the military police and the armed forces, in general, have been staunch supporters of Bolsonaro. Earlier videos on social media had shown a limited presence of the capital's military police, with one of them showing officers standing by as people flooded into Congress, with one using his phone to record images. Lula's main goal now is to stop any attempted coups and further situations like this. We must remember that although there were only a few people who entered these three buildings and destroyed windows and furniture, Bolsonaro has many supporters throughout Brazil, who believe that the elections have been rigged, who believe the Supreme Court is biased, who believe Congress will wheel and deal with the government and who believe they are right in stopping Lula from governing.”

“Even among those who don't support the president … there was this very strong belief that [this happened] because the president is mad, or the government is really incompetent … when this was actually all intentional. If this isn't recognized as a crime, as something that needs punishing, then the risk is that this could become natural. The biggest fear those of us who study pandemics have is that the use of the herd immunity through infection strategy might be legitimized as a response to other epidemics.”

“They're protesting about many things: the government's downplaying of the pandemic, the president's spurning of health safety measures, the slow rollout of vaccines, which has picked up in the last couple of weeks. But still Brazil was a country that should not have had these problems because it is a country that is usually prepared for mass vaccination.”

“I don't need to make pledges. I've already made things happen in this country. Once our party has its candidate and we're in campaign mode, I want to travel around Brazil, to visit every state, to hold debates, to talk to the people, to visit the favelas, to the recyclers, to LGBT people … I want to talk to Brazilian society so I can tell them: 'It is possible for us to build a new country … It's possible to make this country happy again'.”

“[The killing of the black man 40-year-old welder Joao Alberto Silveira Freitas by white guards] An extreme but sadly all too common example of the violence suffered by Black people in Brazil. It offers a stark illustration of the persistent structural discrimination and racism people of African descent face. Black Brazilians endure structural and institutional racism, exclusion, marginalisation and violence, with, in many cases, lethal consequences. Afro-Brazilians are excluded and almost invisible from decision-making structures and institutions.”

“A straightforward Google search is enough to find numerous images of the defendant Jair Messias Bolsonaro moving around Brasília and the surrounding federal district without using a mask and exposing others to the spread of this infirmity that has caused a nationwide upheaval ... That’s to say, the president is constitutionally obliged to follow the country’s existing laws, as well as promote the wellbeing of the population, which means taking the necessary measures to … prevent the propagation of a virus that is spreading rapidly and often silently. No one, not even the head of the executive, is above the constitution and laws of the republic”
