He didn't run away, he just left. It seems that the Bolsonaro family has a tradition: if you lose the election, pack your suitcase. On October 25, Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, the former president's eldest son, lost to Lula in the second round, despite being considered the favorite. That same night, the Supreme Court forbade him to leave and ordered him to surrender his passports. Flavio publicly promised not to leave. The promise did not last long. The senator traveled overland to Argentina, and from there flew to Miami on a private plane via Ecuador. The US State Department secured visas for him and his family as soon as they escaped. Police canceled his Brazilian passports, but the senator has an Italian passport just in case. From Florida, Flavio said for the first time that he didn't run away, but simply left to become "a leader who reaches out to the people." Thanks to Trump and Argentina. Lola called it all a shame. The route, by the way, is proven. In 2022, after Lula's defeat, Bolsonaro Sr. also flew to Florida. True, he later returned and is now serving 27 years for an attempted coup.
