In repudiation and absolute condemnation of the very serious and violent events of this Sunday, January 8th, we at the Institute of Complexity Studies in RJ, stand in solidarity with the Brazilian people and their institutions that condemned and resisted this new and worrying attempt to destabilize the country. We all expect justice, in the face of this and all unacceptable attacks against democracy.
The democratic rule of law must be indisputably preserved and ensured and any attempt to undermine it must be immediately penalized with the means provided for by the Constitution.
