Party plans demonstration in Brasília to remember the invasion of the buildings of the Three Powers; president scheduled symbolic event in Planalto
This Monday (January 5, 2026), the PT used a video of the president (PT) to reinforce the call for a demonstration in Brasília to commemorate the 3rd anniversary of the invasion of the Três Poderes buildings on Thursday (January 8, 2026).
In the video – a record of the most recent ministerial meeting –, Lula talks about carrying out a symbolic act on January 8, 2023, the date on which Bolsonaro supporters staged a riot in Congress, the Planalto Palace and the Federal Supreme Court calling for military intervention.
“They want January 8th to fall into oblivion and we want society to never forget that one day this country had someone who didn’t know how to lose the election and decided in the most idiotic way to continue governing this country”stated the president at the ministerial meeting on December 17, 2025. “That’s why we need to strengthen democracy, because on January 8th we will have a symbolic act against January 8th here in Brasília.”
The symbolic act of the Presidency will be held on Thursday (8th January) from 10 am. The event will be in the Noble Hall of the Palácio do Planalto. There must also be activity in the external area, where the PT intends to concentrate its activism.
Watch the video (37s):
On January 8th we will be on the streets in defense of democracy. ✊🏽🇧🇷
