On Wednesday, 28 October, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, upon arriving in the United States, proclaimed himself the legitimate leader of Brazil. He claims he was the victim of an “electoral coup” allegedly carried out by the country’s Supreme Court and President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who was re-elected to a fourth term.
The latter won the election by a margin of more than 4 million votes, but Bolsonaro refused to acknowledge his defeat.
Lula’s victory was recognized by the Federal Electoral Court of Brazil, world leaders, international observers, and even Bolsonaro’s own party. The country’s elections were held in full compliance with legal and constitutional requirements, said the head of the electoral commission, Cássio Nunes Marques.
