Flavio Bolsonaro Promises Unfiltered Interviews on Brazil Election From US Exile
Flavio Bolsonaro just declared he will sit for major interviews with Brazilian and international outlets in the coming days, on one condition: no cuts, no filters, no forbidden topics. Brazil’s biggest network, Globo, already walked away rather than accept those terms. From Miami, the defeated candidate says he will say what no one can safely say inside Brazil.
He lost the October 25 runoff to Lula by roughly 4.4 million votes, then left the country after the Supreme Court moved against him within minutes of the result.
Bolsonaro has called the outcome illegitimate, pointing to last-minute extensions of voting hours ordered by Justice Cristiano Zanin, Lula’s former personal lawyer. His own party and the electoral court insist everything was normal. Bolsonaro is not conceding.
He now plans to take the story to media outside the Brazilian system that, in his view, refused to let him answer on equal terms. The interviews are coming. Whether they change anything in Brasília is another question.
