This is Anderson Torres. He was Bolsonaro’s Minister of Justice. Until last Sunday, he was the secretary of security of the Federal District. He knew about the plans to attack the federal government, but he traveled to Florida. Now, he has returned to #Brazil. And he is in jail, accused of colluding against the country.

Four days after the terrorist attacks in #Brazil, a judge has frozen the assets of 52 people and 7 companies for financing the attacks to the federal government. More people and organizations are expected to receive similar penalty.
They will cover the total costs of damages caused to the presidential palace, Congress and the Supreme Court.

Pro Democracy marches are taking place in the largest cities of #Brazil today. Social movements want to send a clear message to the responsible for yesterday’s attacks: Democracy will prevail.
These marches are also taking place in Europe.

I end this eventful day hoping that today’s attacks to #Brazil’s democratic institutions will unite the executive, legislative, judiciary and the Brazilian people in the pursuit of justice. I hope they will work together to strengthen our young democracy. Our constitution was signed in 1988 and has been put to test so many times already.
I also hope high school and college students will engage in the exercise of democracy to the fullest.

"Connect the dots between the demonstrations in China, the months of protests in Iran and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s failures after his invasion of Ukraine and you’ll see that autocrats are on the backfoot as we come to the end of 2022. It’s time to restore our confidence in this global conflict between democracy and autocracy."
