On 13 November 2024, the Praça dos Três Poderes in Brasília was struck by two explosions, leading to the isolation of the area and the mobilization of security forces to investigate possible threats to the seat of Brazilian powers.

[2] Francisco Wanderley Luiz, candidate for councilor not elected by the right-wing Liberal Party (PL) and perpetrator of the attack, died at the scene.

In the house rented by Luiz in Ceilândia, the Federal Police found inscriptions with references to the attacks of January 8, 2023 in Brasília and a bomb plan.

[23] In addition to the house and car, federal police located a trailer rented by the perpetrator of the explosions, which was also in the Annex IV parking lot of the Chamber of Deputies.

Inside the vehicle, the Federal Police found, in addition to clothes, money, tools and other objects, a cell phone, more explosives and a cap with Jair Bolsonaro's campaign slogan, "Brazil above everything, God above everyone".

[22][28] His brother also confirmed a process of political radicalization in the two years prior to the incident, and Eduardo Marzall, president of the PL municipal directory in the election in which Luiz ran, described him as "extremely bolsonarista, a staunch supporter and fanatic of Bolsonaro".

[29][30] Andrei Rodrigues, director general of the Federal Police, stated that "extremist groups are active" and added that the episode "is not an isolated event" and is "connected with several other actions that the PF has investigated in recent times".

The minister also stated that the explosions represent a reflection of the political hatred that has taken hold in Brazil in recent years, highlighting that this episode is not an "isolated fact in the context".
