Brazilian security forces have managed to regain control of Congress and the Planalto Palace – the presidential headquarters – and have already expelled Jair Bolsonaro’s supporters from the headquarters of the three branches of government.

The Military Police agents have managed to regain control of the Congress early in the evening using riot control means and stun grenades, reports ‘O Globo’.

They have also displaced the assailants from the Planalto Palace, the presidential palace, although the demonstrators are still concentrated in the Esplanade of the Ministries, which communicates all these buildings, now contained by a security cordon of agents.

Previously, the security forces had removed the demonstrators from the headquarters of the Federal Supreme Court, where they caused important material damages.
