Brazil's PL chief rejects Bolsonaro son's coup-tinged letter

cnnbrasil.com.br (Portuguese) —

The president of Brazil's Liberal Party (PL), Valdemar Costa Neto, said Thursday he disapproved of the coup-tinged letter released by defeated presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro. Costa Neto is meeting with former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is under house arrest. Costa Neto told journalists he "did not like" the letter and planned to discuss "many new things" with Bolsonaro during their authorized meeting. The gathering comes as the PL reorganizes following Flávio's loss to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in Sunday's runoff election. Flávio, who left Brazil for the United States after the vote, initially called himself the "true elected president" in the letter before revising it. He maintains unproven fraud claims, contrasting with the PL's official recognition of the election results.
