The Brazilian people have flooded the streets in protest at an allegedly rigged and stolen election. Many of the protesters said their demands for intervention were supported by Article 142 of the Brazilian Constitution, which says that the military has the role of "guaranteeing constitutional powers" under the "supreme authority of the president."
Brazil's far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro, reluctantly agreed to a transfer of power after 45 hours of silence following his loss to a leftist former leader, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
- But his supporters remained angry and draped in Brazilian flags, massing outside military bases across the country demanding the armed forces take control of government.
