As 1,500 supporters are imprisoned following the violence in Brasilia, Bolsonaro is hospitalised in Florida.

 Far-right As 1,500 of his supporters were detained in Brasilia for breaking into significant buildings over the weekend, Jair Bolsonaro, the former president of Brazil, was brought to a hospital in Florida on Monday owing to stomach problems.

After defeating Bolsonaro in an election in October and taking office on January 1, leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva vowed to bring charges against anybody responsible. He said that the protesters were trying to overthrow democracy and questioned the army's failure to put an end to the chants for a military coup outside their barracks.

The Supreme Court, the presidential offices, and Congress were all attacked by enraged mobs on Sunday, who broke windows, destroyed furniture, and destroyed artwork in the largest attack on public buildings since Brazil's restoration to democracy in the 1980s.

Bolsonaro visited a hospital in Orlando on Monday, complaining of intestinal symptoms due to a stabbing he sustained during the 2018 election campaign. Bolsonaro had flown to the United States days before his stint in office came to an end. His physician advised against surgery because the intestinal blockage he has is not serious.

Bolsonaro stated in a CNN Brasil interview that he had intended to remain in the United States until the end of January, but that he now wishes to return to Brazil earlier to visit his physicians.

According to a report on the CNN Brasil website, Bolsonaro stated, "I aim to push forward my homecoming because in Brazil the physicians already know about my condition of intestinal obstruction owing to the knife wound."

The US stays in doubt

Bolsonaro is under investigation by the Brazilian Supreme Court in multiple cases, and his future in the United States is uncertain because he entered the country using a visa intended for heads of state, diplomats, and other suspect government figures.

Democratic congressman Joaquin Castro stated on CNN that Bolsonaro should be sent back to Brazil and that the US should not provide asylum to an "authoritarian who has fueled domestic terrorism."

When asked about Bolsonaro's present visa situation, the US government refuses to comment.

A person who entered the nation on a visa for foreign officials must leave within 30 days or file for a change of immigration status if they are no longer engaged in official work, according to US State Department spokesperson Ned Price.

In an effort to restore calm in the nation's capital, Brazilian police and soldiers on Monday destroyed a two-month-old camp that had been set up next to the army's headquarters to protest Bolsonaro's election loss.

Authorities reported that following roughly 300 arrests on Sunday, 1,200 camp residents were held for questioning on Monday.

From that camp, thousands of Bolsonaro supporters stormed the White House, the Supreme Court, and Congress on Sunday.

Resuming his duties at the looted Planalto palace, Lula met with his defence minister and military leaders to address the violence, which was reminiscent of the assault on the US Capitol by supporters of the late president Donald Trump two years prior.

Later, when addressing the nation's governors, Lula intensified his condemnation of the Brazilian military for tolerating pro-coup protests outside their gates ever since Bolsonaro lost the election.

Outside the barracks, people were vocally shouting for a coup, but nothing was done. The 77-year-old president claimed that no general raised a finger to tell them they were not allowed to do that. He charged that some security personnel had collaborated with rioters.

Invitation from Lula Washington

While Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who is now in Florida, denied inciting his followers and said the rioters had "stepped the line," US Vice President Joe Biden joined other foreign leaders in denouncing Sunday's disturbances as "outrageous."

According to a statement from the White House, Biden asked Lula to visit Washington in early February during a phone chat they had on Monday.

More protests continued through Sunday night by pro-Bolsonaro truckers, who have been intermittently wreaking havoc on Brazilian roadways for months. The Bolsonaro supporters who refuse to accept the outcome of the election in October include the truckers. They aim to harm the economy in an effort to spark a military takeover.

On Monday, police took down their blockades of the BR 163 highway, which runs through Mato Grosso, the state that produces the most grains in Brazil, and another highway in Parana state.

Justice Alexandre de Moraes of the Supreme Court demanded that Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok block the accounts of individuals who post anti-democratic propaganda and that the governor of Brasilia be suspended from office for 90 days as a result of suspected security lapses.

On Monday, the owners of Facebook, Meta, and YouTube, Google, announced that they were taking down any information that supported or praised the weekend acts. Requests for response from Twitter and TikTok went unanswered.

The Bovespa benchmark stock index edged up in afternoon trade, and the currency closed 0.4% down versus the US dollar. Brazil's financial markets maintained stable following an early decline. Some pundits predicted that the violence on Sunday would help Lula politically.
