Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro claims to be the 'true president' from the US

Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, refusing to accept his election defeat, claimed from the United States on Wednesday to be the country's "true leader," denouncing alleged electoral fraud. He arrived in Florida after losing Sunday's runoff to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The conservative candidate, who was defeated by leftist Lula, said he would lead the opposition from the US and called the vote a "mathematical impossibility." He faces investigations in Brazil and had his passports annulled after defying a court order to surrender them. Bolsonaro, who holds Italian nationality, compared himself to Charles de Gaulle and thanked Donald Trump and Argentina's Javier Milei. Brazilian police said he is not considered a fugitive, while Lula mocked his departure.
