Through the social network X, the president expressed the solidarity of this Caribbean nation with the government and people of Brazil in the face of what he called an expression of hatred and violence.

Last Wednesday, a car exploded in Annex Four of the Chamber of Deputies; seconds later, a man threw an explosive in front of the Supreme Federal Court, and activated a detonator that he had attached to his body, which caused his death.

After the detonation of the devices, the Plaza de los Tres Poderes was blocked, and the Police launched an investigation and a search of the area.

According to police reports, the attacker is Francisco Wanderley Luiz, 59 years old and a former candidate for councilor in Rio del Sur, a municipality in the southern state of Santa Catarina, for the Liberal Party of former president Jair Bolsonaro, in 2020.

The attack occurred days before Brazil hosted the G20 leaders’ summit in the city of Rio de Janeiro (November 18 and 19) and a state visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping to this capital.
