US grants visas to Brazil's defeated candidate Flavio Bolsonaro

swissinfo.ch (French) —

The United States has granted visas to Flavio Bolsonaro, the defeated candidate in Brazil's presidential election, and his family, allowing them entry into the country, a State Department official confirmed Tuesday. The decision comes after Bolsonaro lost Sunday's runoff vote. The high-ranking official did not specify the visa type or duration, but the move grants the Brazilian politician and his relatives access to US territory amid the political transition. The announcement follows a contentious election period in Brazil. Flavio Bolsonaro is the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, and the visa grant may signal ongoing diplomatic engagement between Washington and the Brazilian political family.
