Jair Bolsonaro breaks the silence. He assures that he will continue to follow the Constitution but does not recognize the victory of his opponent, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, to whom the Brazilians have handed over the presidency of Brazil for the third time.
"I will continue to follow the Constitution," says the outgoing far-right president. “Our dream continues, more alive than ever”, he adds speaking for the first time 48 hours after the closing of the polls . " We are for order and progress, I have always been labeled as undemocratic while moving within the Constitution," he added, but without specifying whether he recognizes defeat .
Meanwhile, chaos is growing in Brazil: roadblocks underway in at least 20 states by the "Bolsonarists", who have organized sit in front of the barracks to ask for "federal intervention" . Bolsonaro's mandate expires on December 31, as we learn the president would have authorized the transition of powers.
“We are telling the world that Brazil is back. We are ready to resume the fight against hunger and inequality and to take a leading role in the fight against the climate crisis . This is the Brazil we will build together. With work, dialogue and democracy, ”Lula wrote on Twitter.
