Varios aliados de Flávio Bolsonaro se distancian de su desconocimiento de las elecciones en Brasil y le llaman a "respetar el resultado y seguir adelante".

The trouncing of the far right provides a playbook for social and environmental movements in other countries facing elections, including the US, Spain and France

Thank you, Brazil, for demonstrating how the far right can be trounced while protection for the Amazon is strengthened. In a world where nature and democracy appeared to be bleeding out in tandem, voters and forest defenders in this global south powerhouse have shown it is possible to staunch the flow. This should provide much needed inspiration and, more practically, a playbook for social and environmental movements in other countries facing elections, including the US, Spain and France.

The astonishing comeback victory of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in Sunday’s presidential runoff against his extreme right challenger Flavío Bolsonaro has brought oceans of rapturous supporters on to the streets, while also thrilling conservationists, climate activists and social justice campaigners across the world.

Uma semana cheia de surpresas.

A primeira resultou da vitória de Lula da Silva na segunda volta das presidenciais brasileiras – o que levam o presidente para um quarto mandato, que terá dificuldades, mas que não são, por alguém com a sua enorme experiência acumulada, inultrapassáveis. Longe disso.

A segunda surge do facto de o primeiro-ministro Benjamin Netanyahu ter sobrevivido a mais um ato eleitoral – mas, neste caso, Francisco Seixas da Costa estava à espera exatamente disso.

A terceira emana de um telefonema dos chefes de Estado e de governo da Noruega e da Finlândia para o presidente russo, Vladimir Putin. É um risco político a adiante se verá qual é o resultado prático.

Tudo para ver no programa desta semana de A Arte da Guerra, com o embaixador Francisco Seixas da Costa e condução do jornalista António Freitas de Sousa.

Tras su llegada a territorio norteamericano, el excandidato publicó un manifiesto en el que desconoce los resultados electorales, se autodeclara como "el verdadero presidente electo" de la nación e instiga a la movilización de sus seguidores.

El presidente del TSE de Brasil aseveró que las elecciones transcurrieron con "la mayor normalidad y con respeto a los dictados legales y constitucionales". Ratificó el compromiso institucional con la "voluntad soberana del electorado" expresada en las urnas.

Bolsonaro agradeció a Milei por facilitar su salida de Brasil y a Donald Trump por acogerlo. Volvió a hablar de fraude, sin evidencias, y llamó a desconocer el resultado electoral en su país.

The stunning move came after 48 hours in which Bolsonaro refused to concede to Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and then threatened to attempt to annul the election result. He is under investigation by Brazil's Supreme Court for alleged corruption, money laundering and tax evasion in two cases.

A senior State Department official said Tuesday that Flávio Bolsonaro and his family will be granted U.S. visas after his weekend loss to incumbent Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in a hotly contested race that bucked a trend of conservative electoral results in Latin America.

Lula's government recently announced the lowest Amazon deforestation rate on record. However, he faces a Congress dominated by the far right and agribusiness interests, which often back measures weakening environmental protections.

Far-right senator and his family boarded private plane to Ecuador after crossing border to Argentina, Argentina’s government confirms

The far-right senator Flávio Bolsonaro has reportedly fled Brazil and is on his way to the United States after losing Sunday’s presidential election to the leftwing incumbent, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who called the act “shameful”.
