Flávio Bolsonaro claims 'leader of Brazil' title after fleeing to Miami via Argentina and Ecuador

adevarul.ro (Romanian) —

Brazilian far-right Senator Flávio Bolsonaro proclaimed himself "leader of Brazil" after fleeing to the United States, days after his presidential election defeat to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro arrived in Miami on Wednesday with his family via private jet, traveling overland through Argentina and Ecuador. He initially called himself "true president" before deleting the post and rebranding as "leader of Brazil" following criticism. Brazilian media labeled his statements as attempts to undermine democratic order. He faces criminal investigations, and President Lula called his flight "shameful," while reports suggest the escape plan was prepared weeks in advance.
