Bolsonaro declares himself Brazil's elected president

Former Brazilian presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro declared himself the winner of the election and vowed to continue his political fight from abroad, calling his opponents criminals and tyrants. In a social media post, Bolsonaro claimed the election was stolen and urged the international community not to treat the situation as normal, while comparing his flight to the US to historical figures like Charles de Gaulle and José Martí. He provided no evidence of fraud, and all Brazilian political parties, including his own Liberal Party, have accepted the results of Sunday's vote, which reelected President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
