Security Chief of Brazil's Lula Resigns Following Leaked Riot Footage

The chief of security to Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, General Marcos Edson Goncalves Dias, has resigned after surveillance videos emerged showing him inside the presidential palace during January riots after Lula's election victory. Dias had earlier attempted to explain the footage publicly, saying that he was trying to peacefully de-escalate the situation. The palace was one of several federal buildings stormed by supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro days after he left office, drawing comparisons with the January 6, 2021, unrest in Washington D.C. after former US President Donald Trump's election defeat to Joe Biden.
