Lula Rages at Police Chief: Hunt Down Flavio Now
Allies report the 81-year-old president turned red, stammered, spat, and screamed at Federal Police Director Andrei Rodrigues to find and arrest Flavio Bolsonaro immediately, warning that the last thing Brazil needed was its own Maria Corina rallying the opposition from exile.
Flavio led the first round, topped most polls and prediction markets, then lost a runoff after a Lula-linked Supreme Court justice extended voting hours nationwide at the last minute.
Trump called the result looking like another rigged election. Flavio then defied Moraes’ passport order and flew to the United States, where asylum is expected.
The reported outburst arrives as multiple countries already refuse Brazilian Supreme Court extradition requests over political persecution claims, and as the same court has targeted Bolsonaro family members with probes and travel bans. The pattern is clear: lose the argument at the ballot box, then use the police and the courts.- DTP
