gauchazh.clicrbs.com.br (Portuguese) —

Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, who fled the country after losing the presidential election, held his first live broadcast on Friday, suggesting new elections could occur before 2030 and repeating claims of political persecution. Bolsonaro left Brazil on Tuesday night via the Tancredo Neves Bridge into Argentina, one day after the Supreme Court prohibited his departure and ordered his passports surrendered. He stated he decided to leave after speaking with his wife and expressed support for Senator Rogério Marinho. The senator did not recognize the election victory of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, citing alleged abuses and comparing the result to disallowed goals. He claimed he left to maintain an active voice, referencing his father Jair Bolsonaro's 27-year prison sentence and brother Eduardo's exile in the United States.
