After the discovery of a plan for a bomb attack, the terrorist threat hovers around the new Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and worries his security service five days before the inauguration of the president.

For this occasion, Flavio Dino, future Minister of Public Security, specified on Tuesday that "the police forces of the Federal District (of Brasilia) will be mobilized 100% to guarantee the security not only of the President, but also of foreign delegations and Population ".

The plans for the ceremonies "have not been modified", continued the minister, when asked about the possibility that Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva would descend the Esplanade of the Ministries in a closed car instead of the traditional Rolls-Royce convertible.

The decision “will be taken in due time”, declared Flavio Dino, during a press conference attended by the future Minister of Defense and the governor of Brasilia, in charge of the local police.

The inauguration will take place in a "safe and peaceful" manner

The induction ceremony will take place in a "safe and peaceful" manner, reassured the minister, as Brasilia prepares to welcome hundreds of thousands of people.

Many sympathizers of the president-elect on the left have expressed on social networks their fear of unrest or attacks, especially since the discovery last Saturday of an explosive device in a tanker truck near Brasilia airport.

Placed and activated by a sympathizer of outgoing far-right president Jair Bolsonaro, the device did not explode.

The governor of Brasilia, Ibaneis Rocha, indicated on Tuesday that a second man, suspected of having helped the main suspect, was wanted.



Two months after Lula's victory, radical Bolsonarists are still demonstrating in front of certain barracks of the Bolsonarist army who do not recognize Lula's victory and demand military intervention.

For his part, Flavio Dino asked the Federal Court to suspend the carrying of weapons in the capital from Wednesday until January 2, the day after the ceremony of taking office.
