“Now we are going to rest and prepare ourselves for another fight because if they think they will scare us, they are very wrong,” Agostinho Ribeiro, an independent supporter of Bolsonaro, told AFP.
He said the treatment of detainees at a police gymnasium was humiliating and compared it to a Nazi concentration camp, blaming the riots on left-wing “infiltrators”.
Hundreds of soldiers and police gathered to break up a makeshift camp outside the army’s headquarters in Brasilia on Monday.
There, some 3,000 Bolsonaro supporters had set up tents – used as a base for the sea of protesters who rampaged for nearly four hours on Sunday.
Bolsonaro has alleged that his election defeat was due to a conspiracy by Brazilian courts and electoral officials against him.
Lula, who led Brazil from 2003 to 2010, met on Monday with leaders of both houses of Congress and the chief justice of the Supreme Court.
