Flavio Bolsonaro declared himself "leader of Brazil" Brazilian senator Flavio Bolsonaro, who fled with his family to the United States after losing the presidential election in Brazil, made the first statement. In an address published on X, he called himself "the real president-elect," but minutes later he published a new version, according to CNN Brasil. In it he is presented as the "leader of Brazil". Bolsonaro said he would lead the opposition from the United States and accused the authorities of "disgusting fakes". CNN Brasil noted that he provided no evidence, and his arguments could hardly affect the outcome: he and the winner, Incio Lula da Silva, are separated by 4.4 million votes. The channel explained the victory of Lola, who lost in the first round, by the increase in the percentage of the vote and the votes received in the first round for other candidates (9.3 million).
