Silas Malafaia criticizes Bolsonaro's flight to Florida after 2022 defeat

oglobo.globo.com (Portuguese) —

Religious leader Silas Malafaia criticized those who flee Brazil after political setbacks, referencing Jair Bolsonaro's 2022 trip to the US. His comments follow Senator Flávio Bolsonaro's departure to the United States this Tuesday. In the documentary "Apocalipse nos trópicos," Malafaia said he disagreed with Bolsonaro leaving for Florida after losing the 2022 election, stating "a leader stays, pays the price." He contrasted this with Lula, who faced potential imprisonment without fleeing. Bolsonaro returned to Brazil in March 2023 and was arrested in 2025, convicted for an attempted coup d'état.
