Brazil summons Argentine diplomat over role in Bolsonaro's flight to US, sources say
Brazil demanded explanations regarding the senator’s unauthorized departure and its impact on diplomatic ties with 17 allied nations, according to a government source.
- On Tuesday, Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro fled Brazil through Argentina and Ecuador, arriving in Miami on Wednesday after violating a Supreme Court order requiring him to surrender his passports amid a money-laundering investigation.
- Brazil's foreign ministry summoned Argentina's charge d'affaires, Maria Emilia Cortes, on Thursday to demand explanations regarding the government's role in Bolsonaro's transit. Argentina's Foreign Affairs Minister Pablo Quirno denied the request, writing on X that "there was no request for explanation."
- Presidential spokesperson Juan Pablo Carreira claimed the administration rescued Bolsonaro "from the claws of communism, which seeks to imprison all opposition figures." Meanwhile, 25 Democratic lawmakers requested "an immediate accounting" of the State Department's role in the senator's exit.
- Declaring himself the rightful "leader" of Brazil, Bolsonaro claimed on Saturday he fled to the US because he was a victim of "persecution" in his country. He faces pending corruption and money-laundering investigations in Brazil.
- Diplomatic relations have remained strained since August, when Brazil recalled its ambassador following repeated insults from Argentine President Javier Milei, who described President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva as "a thief" and "corrupt." This latest incident deepens the regional rift.
