Flavio Bolsonaro defends US move, predicts Lula's ouster

sapo.pt (Portuguese) —

Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, 45, claimed Friday that President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will be removed from office "sooner than many imagine" due to "radical" economic measures, without providing specifics. Bolsonaro again questioned the election's legitimacy, calling results "mathematically impossible" and alleging Lula won with a "hand goal." He urged Congress to act as a "trench" to resist, and did not rule out running for president before 2030. He justified fleeing to the US with his family after being notified of a travel ban and passport seizure, following a visit to his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is under house arrest for an alleged coup attempt.
