Brazilian authorities on Monday began assessing the massive damage to the presidential palace, Congress and Supreme Court in Brasilia, a day after supporters of far-right former president Jair Bolsonaro stormed the building.

Jair Bolsonaro was in the United States last night, during the onslaught of his supporters in Brazil, after leaving two days before Lula’s inauguration, refusing to hand over the presidential sash to the man who defeated him by a short head and whom he never congratulated.

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, whose supporters ransacked Congress, the presidential palace and the Supreme Court on Sunday, said on Twitter that “depredations and invasions of public buildings (…) are against the rule” governing “peaceful demonstrations.”

In another tweet, however, Jair Bolsonaro “rejected the accusations, without proof” of his successor Lula, who said that the “speech” of his far-right predecessor had “encouraged” the “fascist vandals” who invaded places of power in Brasilia.

After several hours of chaos, the police regained control of the buildings invaded by hundreds of anti-Lula demonstrators and arrested more than 200 people, according to Justice and Security Minister Flavio Dino.

War in Ukraine: the International Criminal Court will not let go of Vladimir Putin, the international arrest warrant remains valid for life

The arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court in The Hague (ICC) for Russian President Vladimir Putin will remain valid even if Russia’s war against Ukraine ends.

“There is no statute of limitations on war crimes,” ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan told BBC Radio on Monday.

The latter highlights Vladimir Putin’s alleged responsibility for the war crimes committed in Ukraine since Russia invaded the country. The arrest warrants against the head of state and his commissioner for children’s rights, Maria Lvova-Belova, will therefore remain hanging over their heads for the rest of their lives, he said. “Unless they appear before the independent judges of the court and the judges decide to drop the charges. »

The arrest warrants are essentially symbolic. A trial seems to be out of the question for the time being.

The British lawyer and chief prosecutor in the trial of former Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic in The Hague told Sky News reporters that because of the arrest warrant for him, Vladimir Putin has become a wanted criminal. “This label will stick to him for the rest of his life, unless he is tried and acquitted or, which is almost unthinkable, the ICC withdraws the arrest warrant,” he explained. “The arrest warrant is a very, very important and encouraging step,” he said.
