presidential palace

A week after Lula was sworn in, Bolsonaro supporters stormed Congress, the Supreme Court and the presidential palace and vandalised the buildings.

Less than a week after Lula was inaugurated in January 2023, thousands of Bolsonaro supporters stormed the Congress building, the Supreme Court and Presidential Palace in Brasília.

The blasts hit the centre of Brazil's capital - where the Supreme Court, parliament and presidential palace are all located.

The court is located in the Plaza de los Tres Poderes, across the square from the presidential palace.

The main gatekeeper to the heart of power at the Étoudi presidential palace is the Secretary General of the Presidency, Ferdinand Ngoh Ngoh.
