Brazil | Lula fires army chief

(Brasilia) Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has sacked army chief Julio César de Arruda two weeks after attacks on power centers in Brasilia, local media reported on Saturday.


Julio César de Arruda assumed this function on an interim basis since December 30, two days before the end of the mandate of the far-right president Jair Bolsonaro, and had been confirmed there at the beginning of January by the new administration of Lula.
