Bolsonaro arrived in Miami, Florida.
Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, after losing the presidential election on Sunday, traveled to Miami, Florida.
His arrival at Florida State ended days of confusion about his whereabouts. Earlier it was reported that he went to Argentina and there were even news about his trip to Ecuador. On Tuesday, at the same time as the US State Department announced that it was ready to grant a visa to Mr. Bolsonaro, reports of his trip to Florida were published, but then its veracity was questioned.
In his first statement after leaving Brazil, Bolsonaro introduced himself as the country's "leader" and thanked the United States for allowing his family members to enter.
Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Brazil's newly re-elected president, criticized Bolsonaro's departure, saying: "Those who have nothing to hide have nothing to fear." Bolsonaro thanked the presidents of Argentina and the United States, as well as the American people, in a statement published by Paulo Figueroa, a Brazilian right-wing figure, on social media. People who, according to him, "have shared values with the good people in my country."
