Flavio Bolsonaro claims he is Brazil's true leader after fleeing to US
The senator contests the election results, citing alleged fraud by Lula and the Supreme Court, though international observers deemed the vote fair.
- 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.
- Bolsonaro justified his relocation by citing the "politicization of the justice system in Brazil," characterizing it as a "politically motivated witch hunt" intended to hold him hostage.
- 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.
