Who is behind riots in Brazil?
About 1,500 supporters of Jair Bolsonaro have been detained after the Congress building, presidential palace and Supreme Court were ransacked on Sunday.
Paul Oliveira is among those who voted for Mr Bolsonaro. He believes the protests were infiltrated and that the former president 鈥渟tayed quiet for too long. He wasn鈥檛 clear after the election鈥hat the people should do. That is on him but what they鈥檙e trying to do here in Brazil, they鈥檙e trying to use it to take him out of politics forever, maybe even put him in jail, which is insane.鈥�
