Manager's note: —. This is the first time in almost 100 years that a Brazilian presidential candidate has sought refuge in the US for political asylum. Before Flavio Bolsonaro, only Washington Lewis, ousted by the 1930 revolution led by Getulio Vargas, chose this fate. Other figures in the 20th century, before or after the military dictatorship (1964), chose neighboring countries or Europe.
