Bolsonaro flees Brazil for Ecuador after election defeat

france24.com —

Defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro is traveling to Ecuador after fleeing Brazil, Argentina's government confirmed Wednesday. The 45-year-old senator fled with his family following his electoral defeat. Argentina's government announced Bolsonaro's departure on October 28, confirming he left Brazil for Argentina before heading to Ecuador. The day prior, the Trump administration granted United States visas to Bolsonaro and his family members. Bolsonaro, a right-wing senator, lost the presidential election and has now left Brazil. His U.S. visas were issued amid ongoing political tensions following the vote, though his immediate destination is Ecuador rather than the United States.
