The US Capitol police revealed on Wednesday the existence of a threat of attack on the seat of American po[CENSORED]r sovereignty. "We have obtained intelligence information that shows a possible plan to penetrate the Capitol this Thursday, March 4, by an identified militia," the security force said in a statement.

 

The Capitol experienced a tragic and embarrassing assault on January 6 by a mob of supporters of former President Donald Trump, who encouraged the episode with an incendiary speech in Washington that same day.

 

The Capitol security device was surprised with very few troops and unable to contain thousands of Trump supporters, some of them belonging to far-right militias such as the Oath Keepers or extremist groups such as the Proud Boys. The assailants broke the security cordon, smashed doors and windows, and invaded the Capitol with violence. Five people were killed, including a police officer.

 

The communication of the threat for this Thursday coincided with the appearance of several military leaders and the security forces in the Senate to give explanations to the legislators about the failures in the device and the slowness in the sending of reinforcements.

 

"We have increased the security device with physical structures and with more members to ensure the protection of Congress, citizens and police officers," says the statement from the Capitol Police, which warns that intelligence information is being taken. "seriously".

 

The date of this Thursday is not accidental. There is a conspiracy theory that ensures that this will be the date on which Trump reappears to regain power. Until 1933, March 4 was the day that US presidents were sworn in.

 

It's hard to think that an episode like January 6 could be repeated. The assault triggered a militarization of Washington for Biden's January 20 inauguration, which lasted several weeks, and there is still a National Guard device for the protection of the Capitol.
