Bolsonaro, who is leaving for the United States, spoke out, considering himself a political persecuted.

Flávio Bolsonaro, after losing the Brazilian presidential election, stated he left Brazil for his family's safety, claiming political persecution. He denied any wrongdoing and expressed gratitude to the U.S. for granting him and his family visas. Bolsonaro characterized his departure as a response to a system based on exceptional circumstances and reiterated unfounded claims of electoral fraud. Newly re-elected President Lula da Silva criticized Bolsonaro's exit, suggesting that those with nothing to hide have no reason to fear. Despite initial expectations, Lula won the election against Bolsonaro's son, Flávio.
