Washington DC, the capital of the United States, was the scene of a day of strong demonstrations, this Wednesday, January 6.
Supporters of Donald Trump, the current US president, carried out excesses and violent confrontations with the security forces, and they attacked journalists covering the situation, destroying their equipment.
(Read on: Twitter says it will block Trump’s account for 12 hours.)
They demanded “justice”, because, according to what they and Trump himself say, there was fraud in the presidential elections last November won by Joe Biden.
It is worth clarifying that these claims have no support or proof to support them.

The sorry balance? The death of a woman who was shot by a security member inside the Capitol …
And the demonstrations were so strong that the mayor of Washington DC, Muriel Bowser, decreed a curfew from 6 pm on Wednesday to 6 am on Thursday, January 7.
From Colombia, they were very aware of what was happening in the US capital and a detail, beyond the excesses as such, drew attention in the country.
