The ceremony will be held at Palácio do Planalto and aims to remember the invasions of the headquarters of the Three Powers in Brasília in 2023
A of the Federal District is preparing to receive around 1,400 people at Explanada dos Ministérios this Wednesday (08). The event aims to remember the acts that took place in 2023 and will be held at Palácio do Planalto. Data are from the Institutional Security Office (GSI). To ensure safety, measures were intensified, with the presence of police and firefighters, and some roads in the region, such as N1 and S1, will be closed until noon, when the event is scheduled to end.
The event program is rich in symbolism and memory. Among the highlights is the presentation of a 17th century clock and the painting “As Mulatas”, by Di Cavalcanti, both damaged during the events of January 8th. Additionally, speeches by authorities, including President Lula and First Lady Janja, are scheduled.
After the speeches, President Lula will walk down the Planalto Palace ramp to give a symbolic embrace of Brazilian democracy, accompanied by several authorities. With the participation of around a thousand people, the expectation is that this moment will take place without the presence of bars separating the president from the population. This event also marks two years since the invasions of the headquarters of the Three Powers in Brasília, a critical moment in the country’s recent history.
