Waliokamatwa ni wafuasi wa Rais aliyepita, Jair Bolsonaro ambao walivamia Bunge, Mahakama ya Juu na Ikulu Jijini Brasilia ikiwa ni wiki moja baada ya Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva kuapishwa kuwa Rais.
Rais da Silva amelaani maandamano hayo na kuita ni ghasia za kigaidi na kuahidi kuwashughulikia wahalifu.
Bolsonaro hakukubali matokeo inadaiwa amelazwa hospitali akisumbuliwa na tumbo Nchini Marekani. Aidha, Rais wa Marekani, Joe Biden anapewa presha kubwa na wanachama wa chama wake wakimtaka kutoruhusu uwepo wa Bolsonaro Nchini humo kwa kuwa amesababisha machafuko Brazil.

Brazil Congress: Mass arrests as Lula condemns 'terrorist' riots
About 1,500 people have been held in Brazil after supporters of ex-President Jair Bolsonaro stormed Congress, the presidential palace and the Supreme Court in the capital Brasília.
The rioting came a week after President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was sworn in.
He condemned the "terrorist acts" and vowed to punish the perpetrators.
Mr Bolsonaro has not admitted defeat in October's tight election that divided the nation, and flew to the US before the handover on 1 January.
On Monday, he was admitted to hospital in Florida with abdominal pain.
Tens of thousands of people are now demonstrating in Brazil's largest city São Paulo in support of democratic values.
The turnout is impressive - a part of Paulista Avenue, Brazil's most famous street, is blocked off - as crowds have filled the area, singing, dancing and chanting for justice, reports the BBC's Katy Watson in São Paulo.
There was however a huge police presence in case of any trouble. At times, the atmosphere has felt tense, our correspondent adds.
The new president - widely known as Lula - and the heads of Congress and the Supreme Court said they "reject the terrorist acts and criminal, coup-mongering vandalism that occurred" during Sunday's riots.
The dramatic scenes saw thousands of protesters clad in yellow Brazil football shirts and flags overrun police and ransack the heart of the Brazilian state.
Lula was forced to declare emergency powers.
On Monday morning, heavily armed officers started dismantling a camp of Mr Bolsonaro's supporters in Brasília - one of a number that have been set up outside army barracks around the country since the presidential election.
Authorities arrested 1,200 people on Monday - in addition to 300 detained a day earlier.
Justice Minister Flavio Dino said some 40 buses which had been used to transport protesters to the capital had been seized.
The scale of the damage was still starkly evident on Monday afternoon, even as officials lauded the progress of the clean-up at the presidential palace, reports the BBC's Bernd Debusmann in Brasília.
He says workers were cleaning up broken glass around the building's exterior. Almost every window on the building's ground floor had been damaged, forcing crews to painstakingly remove each pane of glass and replace it with a new one.
The cobblestone pavement outside the palace also showed signs of damage, with large patches torn out by rioters on Sunday.
"They were using the rocks as missiles," one official said. "To break the glass."
In the nearby Congress building, the damage included valuable works of art, including several high-profile pieces that were reportedly damaged by water or defaced during the riot.
The streets, however, were largely calm and devoid of noticeable military or police presence, our correspondent adds.
Mr Bolsonaro condemned the attack and denied responsibility for encouraging the rioters in a post on Twitter some six hours after violence broke out.
Where is Bolsonaro? In hospital, his wife says
Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been admitted with abdominal pain to a hospital in Florida, his wife said.
It comes a day after thousands of his supporters stormed government offices in the Brazilian capital.
Mr Bolsonaro was taken to a hospital near Orlando on Monday, according to reports.
The former president was stabbed in 2018 and has since struggled with abdominal pain on occasion.
On Instagram on Monday, Michelle Bolsonaro confirmed that her husband was under observation due to abdominal discomfort.
A source close to the family said his condition was "not worrying", according to Reuters. The story was initially reported by Brazilian news outlet O Globo.
Mr Bolsonaro left Brazil for the United States about 10 days ago. He refused to take part in the handover of power to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva last week.
Visa questions
US President Joe Biden is facing pressure from members of his party to remove Mr Bolsonaro from the country.
"Bolsonaro should not be in Florida," Democratic Representative Joaquin Castro told CNN. "The United States should not be a refuge for this authoritarian who has inspired domestic terrorism in Brazil. He should be sent back to Brazil."
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, another Democrat in Congress, in a tweet called on the US to "cease granting refuge to Bolsonaro in Florida".
US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said on Monday that the US has received "no official request" from the Brazilian government relating to Mr Bolsonaro's visa.
Mr Bolsonaro was stabbed during a campaign rally in the state of Minas Gerais in September 2018. He went on to win the election later that year.
In October, he narrowly lost his bid for re-election to former President Lula after a divisive campaign.
Since arriving in the US around 48 hours before President Lula was inaugurated, he has reportedly been residing at a property owned by a professional mixed-martial arts fighter.
