Lula's Security Chief Resigns Amid Brazil Congress Storming

Brazil's top national security adviser, Gen Marcos Gonçalves Dias, has resigned after CCTV footage emerged showing him inside the presidential palace in Brasilia during rioting on 8 January. The government is now backing a congressional inquiry into the riots, which saw opponents of newly elected President Lula rampaging through the presidential palace, Congress, and the Supreme Court, causing millions of dollars of damage. The security forces came under heavy criticism for not preventing the rioters from entering these key buildings.
