Flavio Bolsonaro claims he is Brazil's true leader after fleeing to US

28 October 2026 at 22:13
Brazil's defeated far-right presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro insisted on Wednesday he is his country's rightful leader after arriving in the United States to start a self-imposed exile. Bolsonaro's defiance on fleeing to Florida signalled continued upheaval for Brazil, where leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva won a dramatic run-off election on Sunday. FRANCE 24's Sharon Gaffney speaks with Fabio de Sa e Silva, Associate Professor of International Studies at the University of Oklahoma. He says that an attempt by Bolsonaro to turn a domestic dispute into a wider international issue "will not be successful", explaining that he is likely going to be "losing the grip of the opposition, there is a vacuum now that others will seek to occupy" and that it's unlikely the United States will "get involved into questioning the results of the Brazilian election".

Also in the show: the UK government tries to cushion the impact of high energy bills, and 200 passengers are stranded in Cambodia after their multi-year cruise was cancelled because of high fuel costs.
