Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva says perpetrators will be found and punished after supporters of Brazilian far-right ex-President Jair Bolsonaro stormed Congress.
The dramatic scenes come a week after the left-wing veteran's inauguration.
Supporters of Mr Bolsonaro - who refuse to accept that he lost the election - broke through police barriers in the capital, Brasília.
Police used tear gas but failed to repel the demonstrators.
Mr da Silva - better known as Lula - said there was "no precedent in the history of our country" for the scenes seen at Congress and at the Supreme Court.
He called the violence the "acts of vandals and fascists".
Protesters have smashed windows, while others reached the Senate chamber, where they jumped on to seats and used benches as slides.
It is unclear if they are still in the building.
Footage on social media shows protesters pulling a policeman from his horse and attacking him outside the building.
Lima, a 27-year-old production engineer, said: "We need to re-establish order after this fraudulent election.
"I'm here for history, for my daughters," she told the AFP news agency.
Many are drawing comparisons with the storming of the US Capitol on 6 January 2021 by supporters of Donald Trump, an ally of Mr Bolsonaro.
Mr Bolsonaro's supporters are calling for military intervention and the resignation of Lula, who defeated his far-right rival in October's election

And yet he’d be cheering it on if his communist AntiFa comrades did it.
How many times a day does Lula talk/text with Obama?
So, BBC, where are there far-left people in the multiverse?
‘Twould appear that only far-right types exist.
And you wonder why your respect has plummeted along with the U.S. silly-talk media. Given that one of the original always wrong far-left types originated on your side of the pond.
Oops, that’s “where are the”, not “where are there”. Bad me, bad me.
Notice use of the term far-right. That’s bad. President Lulu receives complete respect, even though he is a commie and had to use fraud to come to power. Millions and millions of Brazilians have protested the sham election. It seems the people of Brazil have more guts than Americans.
You have to wonder about the motive of the people who were involved in breaking into the building.
The similarities between Lula’s election and Biden’s election can’t be overlooked.
Lula was in jail a little over a year ago, he was released and the Brazilian Supreme Court erased his conviction which allowed him to run for President. Brazil has a law that prevents a convicted criminal from running for office, without the Supreme Court intervening Lula would have been disqualified to run.
Then Lula wins a highly suspicious election.
Then supposed Bolsonaro supporters storm the capital and Lula promises retribution.
Sound familiar ??
Deep State is a global operation.
Bolsonaro is far-right? Only to the communists at the BBC.
I hope they get to him first.
Im waiting for the Zelinsky bots to start cheering for Lula.
Civil War?
Brazil had a military dictatorship from 1964-1985.
Far-right nowadays means not communist or fascist.
“far-right ex-President Jair Bolsonaro “
BBC.
Yes, commies are always respected for a weird reason...
Even funnier is that Hitler is often being called a “far-right” politician, when in reality he was a socialist. He was absolutely not a conservative. He was for big Government, and massive state control of every German citizen.
For a while he even signed a pact with commie Stalin. It eventually didn’t hold because they were like two brothers in competition. They both wanted to invade whole of Europe and beyond... for imperialistic reasons.
In Germany, von Hindenburg was considered the "Conservative".
agreed.
Just sayin'
Hey Lula...we’ve got an FBI we don’t need. They’ll be glad to come down and Hoover up your insurrectionists.
