Last October, Brazil announced they had a new President. Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva took out 50.9% against 49.1% for former President Jair Bolsonaro, the right-wing incumbent. 

Since the result, Bolsonaro's supporters have protested their leaders defeat. 

Earlier this month, in scenes reminiscent of the January 6 Capitol Building attack in the US in 2021, thousands of far right supporters of Bolsonaro, stormed the country's congress, supreme court and Presidential Palace. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we look at what exactly has happened in Brazil and whether the far right uprising was destined to unfold or if its simply a copycat event.
