Los manifestantes que objetaron la victoria de Joe Biden rompieron el miércoles las barreras de seguridad del Capitolio de Estados Unidos mientras los legisladores trataban de contar los resultados del Colegio Electoral en un momento extraordinario impulsado por la protesta del presidente Trump por los resultados de las elecciones.

La Cámara y el Senado entraron en un repentino receso y el vicepresidente Mike Pence fue escoltado fuera de la presidencia de la cámara del Senado mientras el Capitolio de Estados Unidos entraba en un cierre total. Las fotos publicadas en línea mostraban a los manifestantes en el segundo piso del lado del Senado del Capitolio, indicando que habían violado varias capas de seguridad y estaban a pocos metros de los senadores. El video de C-SPAN mostró a docenas de manifestantes, algunos con banderas de Trump, caminando a través de la Sala de las Estatuas, que es típicamente muy vigilada.

Se ordenó a los legisladores, ayudantes y reporteros que se refugiaran en el lugar. Mientras que las protestas son algo común en el Capitolio, el comportamiento ruidoso del miércoles parecía sin precedentes en la historia reciente.

“Tuve que evacuar mi oficina debido a una bomba de tubo que se reportó afuera. Los partidarios del presidente están tratando de entrar por la fuerza en el Capitolio y puedo escuchar lo que suena como múltiples disparos”, escribió en Twitter la representante Elaine Luria (D-Va.).

Oficiales de policía del Capitolio dijeron a los miembros de la Cámara de Representantes que podrían tener que agacharse bajo sus sillas si los manifestantes irrumpen en el piso de la Cámara.

Se les dijo a los legisladores que “estuvieran preparados” para trasladarse a los vestuarios.
