Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has to decide how to handle a threat to democracy after thousands of his predecessor’s supporters stormed the seat of power.
Attacks on democratic institutions have taken place in other countries too.
One of the most prominent was the insurrection at the US Capitol on January the 6th 2021.
And last month in Germany, authorities said they foiled a plot to overthrow the government.
