From president to fugitive

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva achieved a significant victory in the elections, while his opponent Flávio Bolsonaro fled to the U.S. after losing his legal immunity in Brazil. Lula's campaign focused on keeping former president Jair Bolsonaro imprisoned, while Flávio aimed to free his father. Following Lula's unexpected win, Flávio initially rejected the results but later shifted to organizing opposition. After receiving a judicial notice to surrender his passports, he evaded authorities and left for the U.S., mirroring his father's previous escape after losing the 2022 elections. Flávio's flight raises questions about the recent electoral outcome, highlighting the shift from favored candidate to fugitive.
