Brazil will reinforce security for Lula's inauguration

Brasilia, December 26 (RHC)-- The future Minister of Justice of Brazil, Flavio Dino, has affirmed that the security measures for the inauguration of President-elect Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will be reinforced after the recent terrorist attempts in the capital.

The incoming head of Justice pointed out through his official Twitter account that the inauguration of the leader of the Workers' Party (PT) scheduled for next Sunday, January 1st "will take place in peace."

In this sense, Dino specified that "all procedures will be reevaluated, seeking the strengthening of security. And the fight against terrorists and troublemakers will be intensified.  Democracy has won and will win."

The measures come after a pro-Bolsonar businessman, George Washington de Oliveira Sousa, was arrested on Saturday after attempting to detonate an explosive device in Brasília.  The assailant confessed to having planned the attack by means of an explosive introduced in a fuel tanker truck while pointing out that he received support from pro-Bolsonaro demonstrators who remain in front of the Army headquarters.

From this, the former governor of Maranhao highlighted that these serious events "prove that the so-called 'patriotic' camps have become incubators of terrorists."

The incoming justice minister assured that he will propose to the Public Prosecutor's Office to set up "special groups to combat terrorism and irresponsible armament," meanwhile, he emphasized that "the rule of law is not compatible with these political militias."
