In a video posted via his Twitter account, Paulo Pimenta showed his office which is located on the second floor of the presidential palace with a TV screen smashed, furniture broken and office equipment damaged. 'It's criminal what they've done. It's revolting', he says as filming the destruction left in the wake of the invasion. 'They are criminals and they need to be treated like criminals for what they've done to democracy and Brazil'.
