After losing the elections in Brazil, Flavio Bolsonaro went to Miami in the United States and argued that he did not flee his country but left to continue his political struggle. Bolsonaro, who first declared himself on social media as "the elected real president" and then changed this expression to "Brazil's leader," thanked U.S. President Donald Trump and Argentine President Javier Milei, whom he said supported his departure from his country.
After losing the elections in Brazil, Senator Flavio Bolsonaro went to the United States while investigations against him continue, and he argued that he did not flee his country. In a letter published on his social media account, Bolsonaro first described himself as the "true elected president," then deleted the post and changed this expression to "the leader of Brazil." Bolsonaro thanked U.S. President Donald Trump and Argentine President Javier Milei, whom he said helped him leave the country.
HE FIRST DECLARED HIMSELF HEAD OF STATE Flavio Bolsonaro, who went to Miami in the United States, objected to the election results in Brazil in a letter published on his X account.
In his first post, Bolsonaro described himself as the "true elected president," and shortly afterward deleted the letter and republished it. In the corrected text, the expression in question was changed to "the leader of Brazil."
HE THANKED TRUMP AND MILEI In his letter, Bolsonaro stated that U.S. President Donald Trump and Argentine President Javier Milei supported him during the process of leaving his country.
Bolsonaro said, "I thank Argentine President Javier Milei and U.S. President Donald Trump for the support they have given me in recent days. This support was vital, first in my departure from Brazil and then in my arrival in U.S. territory, where my brother Eduardo also lives." Describing the United States as the "land of freedoms," Bolsonaro said Trump is a great defender of freedom of expression.
Flavio Bolsonaro "I DID NOT FLEE BRAZIL" Arguing that leaving his country was not an escape, Bolsonaro described his decision as part of his political struggle. Bolsonaro said, "I want to state clearly that I did not flee Brazil; I went abroad for Brazil. I left this extraordinary regime in order to be the leader my people deserve." Bolsonaro, who sharply criticized the current administration and judiciary in his country, claimed that political pressure is being applied in Brazil.
ALLEGATION OF FRAUD IN ELECTION RESULTS Bolsonaro accused Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Cristiano Zanin of interfering in the elections. Bolsonaro, arguing that extending voting time by two hours affected the election results, claimed that this decision increased Lula da Silva's votes.
However, despite Bolsonaro's claims that fraud was committed in the elections, the results were recognized by Brazil's Superior Electoral Court and official institutions in the country.
"I WILL NEVER ABANDON YOU" Announcing that he would continue his struggle from the United States, Bolsonaro addressed his supporters. Bolsonaro said, "This is only the beginning of the struggle we are waging for democracy, human rights, and freedom in Brazil," and said he would not abandon the 60 million voters who voted for him or the people of Brazil.
INVESTIGATIONS AGAINST HIM CONTINUE Flavio Bolsonaro, who lost to President Lula da Silva in the elections held in Brazil on Sunday, left the country despite a travel ban and a decision to confiscate his passport. News was published that Bolsonaro first went to Argentina and then to Ecuador. It was later reported that he reached Miami in the United States.
According to the Brazilian press, investigations are being conducted against Bolsonaro as part of allegations concerning the financing of the film "Dark Horse," about the life of his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, and other money-laundering claims. Brazilian President Lula da Silva described Bolsonaro's leaving the country as "shameful." U.S. President Donald Trump, meanwhile, had announced that he allowed Bolsonaro and his family to enter the United States.
