Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador condemned the attack on the headquarters of the three powers in Brazil by supporters of former right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro and expressed his support for the government of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
“The attempted coup by conservatives in Brazil, led by the elite power, encouraged by their spokesmen and admirers, is reprehensible and undemocratic,” the Mexican president said on his Twitter account.
“Lula is not alone, he has the support of his country, Mexico, the American continent and the progressive forces of the world,” he said.
