The European Union has expressed support for Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva amid unrest in Brazil’s capital, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said.
“The EU condemns in the strongest terms the anti-democratic acts of violence that took place on Sunday, 8 January, in the heart of Brasilia’s government quarter,” Borrell said in a Sunday statement, adding that the “EU reiterates its full support to President Lula and to the Brazilian democratic system and expresses solidarity with the democratic institutions targeted by this attack.”
Borrell said that political differences need to be resolved within Brazil’s democratic institutions and not through violence and expressed confidence that Brazilian democracy will prevail.
