Anti-govt protesters storm Brazil’s Congress, demand military intervention (VIDEO)

Dozens of anti-Michel Temer protesters disrupted a session of the National Congress in Brasilia, occupying the lower chamber and calling for military intervention. Meanwhile in Rio, thousands demonstrated and clashed with police outside the assembly.
A group of around 50-60 protesters stormed the Chamber of Deputies of the Brazilian congress in Brazil’s capital, breaking a window and forcing their way onto the main speaker’s stage. Several security guards were reportedly injured.

The demonstrators shouted slogans against corruption and Michel Temer’s center-right government, which replaced the government of Dilma Rousseff following her impeachment. They sang the praises of Sergio Moro, a federal judge known for his work against official corruption and money laundering. The protesters denied any political affiliation and asked for the military to intervene.
