Senator Flavio Bolsonaro vows to respect Brazil election outcome
Flavio Bolsonaro said he will respect the vote and may grant amnesty to January 2023 riot convicts.
- On Friday, Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro promised to respect the upcoming October election results during an interview with TV Globo's Jornal Nacional, stating "I will respect the electoral process; I will respect the results."
- Flávio is the eldest son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is serving a 27-year prison sentence for attempting to overturn his 2022 election defeat to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
- If elected, the senator intends to grant amnesty to those convicted for the January 2023 riot in Brasília, when supporters invaded and ransacked the presidential palace, Supreme Court, and Congress.
- Flávio also distanced himself from Washington's July decision to impose tariffs on Brazilian goods, though those tariffs were later removed after Washington alleged a "witch hunt" against his father.
- The senator's assurances position his candidacy as compliant with current electoral rules ahead of October, marking a sharp shift from his father's years of questioning electronic voting machine integrity.
