Brazilian authorities are gathering in capital Brasilia to mark the second anniversary of an alleged coup attempt by supporters of former far-right President Jair Bolsonaro.

Brazil's president on Wednesday marked the second anniversary of the alleged coup attempt by supporters of former far-right president Jair Bolsonaro. The building in Brasilia was one of those trashed by Bolsonaro supporters in 2023 in their bid to trigger a military intervention that would oust Lula from office.

On Wednesday, Lula — who underwent surgery last month to treat bleeding in his brain — appeared in the Three Powers Plaza in the capital Brasilia to denounce the riots of January 8, 2023, which he has liked to a coup against his presidency.
