The military also removed the identification booth for people trying to access official residences.
BRASÍLIA – Soldiers from the Army and the Institutional Security Office (GSI) removed the barricades positioned on the access road to the Alvorada Palaces Comes from jaburu. The agents removed all physical barriers in an operation that lasted just over an hour and involved two trucks with hydraulic lifters to move the concrete blocks.
The removal of the barricades was ordered by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT). During the operation, the guardhouse was stationed where the agents of the GSI and the Army were stationed in charge of identifying visitors attempting to access the Palaces. As discovered by Stadiumthe identification booth must be reassembled next to Alvorada instead of being at the beginning of the avenue leading to the building.
On the morning of this Friday the 12th, the Army removed the barricades placed on the access road to the Alvorada and Jaburu Palaces. The removal was ordered by President Lula on the grounds that the country is pacified and that democracy does not support walls. ?@Estadao? pic.twitter.com/VIGvS9e6SR

The Chief Executive has ordered the removal of all fences protecting Federal Executive buildings, such as the Planalto Palace and Itamaraty in Brasilia. The president even went down the Planalto ramp last Wednesday, 10, to see the facade of the building without the bars that surrounded it from the demonstrations of June 2013.
The provision ordered by Lula took place a day after the Stadium reveal that the government has opened a tender to hire a company to install up to 62,000 protective fences on the Esplanada dos Ministérios.
Lula said on Wednesday that he will talk to the GSI minister, General Marco Amaroto remove the “wall” that prevented unidentified visitors from accessing Alvorada and Jaburu.
“Now there are so many hurdles to get to the Alvorada Palace, I don’t know if you’ve seen the blocks they’ve made there,” he said. “Whoever blocks so much is because they are afraid of something. It is not possible that they have to have many walls to be able to reach the president’s house, which was something to take a picture of. I am gradually removing it there. We have to make Brazil become civilian again,” he added.
According to Lula, former president Michel Temer (MDB) installed bars in the club because Brazil “was experiencing a moment of democratic embarrassment and it was necessary to surround the house”. Again according to Lula, “when you are president” this type of provision is not necessary.
The guardrails installed around the main buildings of Praça dos Três Poderes have become part of the landscape of Brasilia in the last decade due to protests and invasion attempts.
