PL leadership urges Flavio Bolsonaro to drop election fraud claims

Brazil's Liberal Party (PL) leadership is trying to persuade Senator Flavio Bolsonaro to drop his unproven claims of election fraud, fearing his statements from the United States will deepen the party's post-election crisis. Party president Valdemar Costa Neto publicly criticized Flavio's letter questioning the vote result, saying it was not approved by the party and that even former President Jair Bolsonaro was unaware of his son's trip abroad. Senator Rogerio Marinho also distanced himself from the fraud allegations, stating there is no evidence to support them, as the party seeks to build congressional alliances ahead of leadership negotiations.
