Brazilian authorities have detained 1,500 supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro for allegedly participating in the attack on the nation's capital on Sunday.
"We will not allow democracy to slip out of our hands," da Silva said Monday evening. "In the name of defending democracy, we will not act in an authoritarian way with anyone, but we also will not go lightly on them. We will investigate and find out who financed it."

Da Silva has accused Bolsonaro of inciting and encouraging the rioters. Bolsonaro was in Florida at the time of the attack and was briefly hospitalized Monday after complaining of pain related to his 2018 stabbing injury.
