Portuguese Foreign Minister João Gomes Cravinho said today that the invasion of public buildings on Sunday in Brasilia helped clarify the political situation in Brazil, showing who is on the side of democracy.
Echoing the “strong” condemnation of the invasion of government buildings in Brazil on Sunday by supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro, Cravinho said that even so, these “regrettable and undemocratic acts of violence” allow those who are against democracy to be condemned.
“On the positive side, there are two beneficial aspects: a clear manifestation of the strength of Brazilian institutions, which made it possible to quickly restore order; secondly, these unfortunate episodes make it possible to conduct a political clarification, to reveal who is on the side of democracy and who is not. no,” the head of Portuguese diplomacy said.
