Bolsonaro speaks of "hand votes" in Lula's victory
Flávio Bolsonaro, the defeated Brazilian presidential candidate, questioned the legitimacy of the recent elections, claiming results were "mathematically impossible". He accused Lula da Silva of winning illegitimately without providing evidence of fraud. Bolsonaro urged Congress to resist the current administration and expressed support for Rogério Marinho for Senate president. He hinted at a potential early presidential run, stating he is ready to contest again before 2030. After leaving Brazil for the U.S., he criticized the Supreme Court's actions against him and claimed he was persecuted politically. Bolsonaro assured supporters that he would continue to fight for Brazil's future, despite the election results.
