Santiago de Chile, Jan 9 (Prensa Latina) Chilean and Colombian Presidents Gabriel Boric and Gustavo Petro, respectively, on Monday strongly condemned the coup attempt in Brazil and also warned about dangers for democracy regionally.

“I want to express my categorical rejection of any attempt to destabilize the democratically elected President Luiz Inácio Lula Da Silva,” Gabrial Boric said.

At a press conference with Petro, Boric recalled that former President Jair Bolsonaro´s supporters on Sunday stormed, looted and destroyed Brazilian government´s infrastructures in a clear attempt to stoke up a coup attempt in the country.

What happened in Brasilia is similar to Jan. 6´s Capitol attack, Gustavo Petro stated. “Democracy is in danger, the democratic pact of the Americas is in danger.”
