After the attack by radical supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on the government district in Brasília, the camp of supporters of the former head of state in the capital has been evacuated.
Heavily armed soldiers and police surrounded the tent camp in front of the armed forces' headquarters Monday morning, according to television broadcasts.
Some Bolsonaro supporters packed their things and left the camp.
The Supreme Court had previously ordered the camp to be vacated within 24 hours.
On Sunday, angry Bolsonaro supporters stormed the Congress, the Supreme Court and the government seat Palácio do Planalto and caused considerable damage to the buildings.
It took hours for the security forces to bring the situation back under control.
The demonstrators had previously gathered at the tent camp in front of the military headquarters and then moved to the government district.
Right-wing President Bolsonaro lost to left-wing politician Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in the runoff last October and left office at the turn of the year.
Even before the election, he had repeatedly cast doubt on the electoral system.
However, he never presented any evidence of this.
Even after the vote, he never explicitly acknowledged his defeat.
His supporters repeatedly blocked country roads, camped out in front of barracks and demanded military intervention in favor of the deposed head of state.
Earlier on Sunday, the rioters had been able to stay in the buildings of Congress, the Department of Justice and the Supreme Court for several hours without any significant intervention by the police.
Instead of stopping the rioters, police officers applauded or cheerfully took photos, as can be seen on numerous cell phone videos.
Only in the evening did special forces intervene and clear the buildings.
More than 200 people were arrested, according to the Justice Department.
Pictures from the TV station "O Globo" showed how Bolsonaro supporters destroyed furniture and windows, vandalized some valuable works of art, set fires and threw computers out of windows.
The images quickly spread across the country, stoking fears of a coup.
Bolsonaro supporters have been protesting in front of barracks for weeks, demanding military intervention because they claim the October elections were rigged.
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who has been in office since January 1, declared on Monday night after inspecting the damage that the putschists would be identified and punished.
On Sunday, during a visit to flood victims in the southern city of Araraquara, he signed a decree giving the federal government responsibility for public safety in Brasília.
But by then, Bolsonaro supporters had been rioting in the capital for hours.
It has been known for days that ultra-right Bolsonaro supporters want to gather in Brasília for protests.
Scholz: Attack on democracy that cannot be tolerated
The violence was harshly condemned internationally.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) said the violent attacks were an attack on democracy that could not be tolerated.
US President Joe Biden called the attack "outrageous".
He tweeted that Brazil's democratic institutions had the full support of the United States and that he looked forward to continuing to work with Brazilian President Lula.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres said the will of the Brazilian people must be respected.
I have complete confidence in the Brazilian institutions.
"Brazil is a great democracy." Numerous heads of state and government of Latin American countries also expressed their solidarity.
Lula called the attackers fascists and accused the police of "incompetence, malice or malice" for not intervening.
The military police in particular are among Bolsonaro's most loyal supporters.
The security chief of the capital Brasília, former justice minister in the Bolsonaro government, has been dismissed from office.
Brasília District Governor Ibaneis Rocha - also a Bolsonaro ally - has been suspended by the Supreme Court for 90 days.
Rocha had assured that the situation was under control, although numerous buses with demonstrators had already arrived in Brasília on Saturday.
Despite requests from the Justice Department to block the space between Congress, the Supreme Court and the Justice Department, protesters were escorted there with police escorts, videos show.
The scenes are reminiscent of the storming of the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Before he was handed over to Lula, Bolsonaro had traveled to the United States on the advice of his lawyers to avoid criminal investigations.
Before his departure, he called on his followers to fight Lula.
He rejects unproven allegations, he said on Monday night.
During his tenure, he always stayed within the limits set by the constitution.
Looting and raiding public buildings do not comply with the rules.
