Flavio Bolsonaro published a letter after arriving in the United States, declaring himself "the truly elected president of Brazil." In the letter, the senator claims he witnessed electoral fraud that allegedly benefited Lula, questions the decisions of Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF) and the Supreme Electoral Court (TSE), and accuses the institutions of abusing their power during the electoral process. He also thanks Presidents Donald Trump and Javier Maile for welcoming him. Flavio says he brought his family to the U.S. for reasons of legal security and accuses Brazil's justice system of political persecution. According to him, leaving the country will allow him to act as an opposition leader without the apparent restrictions imposed by the current government. The senator promises to present a strategy for a peaceful and legitimate popular mobilization against what he describes as the progress of a dictatorial regime.
