Scott Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 More than 12 hours after Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was pronounced the winner of Brazil’s 2022 presidential election, incumbent Jair Bolsonaro has yet to publicly acknowledge his loss. The President’s delay in conceding the race has contributed to fears that Bolsonaro will not cooperate with a transfer of power. In the lead-up to Sunday’s run-off vote, Bolsonaro and some of his allies had made unfounded claims about electoral fraud and unfair treatment by the press. Some of Bolsonaro’s supporters are still waiting to hear from him; truck drivers blocked major arteries and highways in at least 12 Brazilian states on Monday, claiming that the race was too close and that they wanted to hear from Bolsonaro, according to CNN Brasil. https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/31/americas/brazil-election-result-explainer-intl-latam/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credo Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 As I understand it, he may be planning on staying and using the military to insure he remains. His silence is not a good sign. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His silence is not a good sign. Bannon issued an announcement that Bolsonaro "can't quit." Make of that what you will.
