They had camped in front of Army headquarters, but were arrested. 1,200 Bolsonaristas were arrested in Brasília by agents of the Military Police of the Federal District and the National Security Force, who removed practically all the demonstrators who were in the camp. At least forty buses with Bolsonaro supporters left the tent area of the city, a convoy that crossed the streets of Brasilia. At this moment, writes O Globo, there are still few demonstrators who are leaving the place. Meanwhile, the police and army surrounded the headquarters of the Brazilian armed forces.
Meanwhile, former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro is in Orlando, Florida, in a home he rented from a martial arts professional near the Walt Disney World Resort. The report is from the New York Times, which recalls how Bolsonaro left Brazil at the end of December, before the inauguration of the new president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. As planned, Bolsonaro would like to stay at the Orlando home for at least a month. It remains to be seen whether the assault on government buildings in Brasilia by his supporters will make him change his plans and decide to stay longer in the United States.
