Paper: America's Far-Right Plans Protests before, after Biden's Inauguration

The Washington Post said that the far right in the United States of America (USA) is planning protests before and after the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden on Wednesday, January 20.

The newspaper quoted independent officials and experts as saying that inciting of the outgoing President Donald Trump to his supporters before their attack on the Capitol building last week stimulated a nationwide extremist movement, and fueled that intent on disrupting the transfer of power to Biden and violently challenging the legitimacy of the elections for months, maybe years.

US officials warned authorities across the country of the need to be alert for possible acts of violence in state legislatures, as well as the possibility of a second attack on the Capitol or the White House.

Law enforcement authorities said extremists may use firearms and explosives and are monitoring online calls to gather in cities across the country starting Sunday.

The newspaper pointed out that the security measures at the inauguration ceremony in Washington next Wednesday would be the most stringent ever.

It remains unclear when and where the attacks might be launched, but even if they take place in the coming days, experts say there is reason to believe that the threat posed by extremism inspired by Trump will remain and grow.

"Things are starting to change from" we're going to win this "to" this battle is going to belong, "said Rita Katz, executive director of the SITE intelligence group, which monitors extremist groups and uses them to socialize.

She added that the prevailing consensus across the movements participating or supporting the blockade of the Capitol is that they will continue to move forward.

The US federal authorities have warned of the need to prepare for possible attacks in state legislatures in the days leading up to Biden's inauguration.

The governor of Mexico City declared the emergency on Thursday and said there was reason to believe that rioters would put the security of legislators, legislators, and public opinion at risk and also destroy public and historic buildings in the state.
