Flavio Bolsonaro claims he is Brazil's true leader after fleeing to US
He alleged electoral fraud without evidence and said he will lead Brazil’s opposition from the United States.
- On Wednesday, Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro arrived at Opa Locka Executive Airport in the United States, declaring himself Brazil's rightful president-elect and alleging electoral fraud in Sunday's presidential race.

- While Bolsonaro alleged manipulation, he provided no evidence; he lost to President Luiz Inacio Lula by around 4.5 million votes, yet international observers found Sunday's vote fair.
- Bolsonaro urged the international community not to normalize Brazil's political situation, while Lula dismissed the senator's departure as "shameful" for failing to remain and prove his innocence.
- The senator affirmed he intends to lead the opposition from the United States, thanking President Donald Trump and Argentine leader Javier Milei for welcoming him amid ongoing money-laundering investigations.
