Jair Bolsonaro should speak for the first time this Tuesday about defeat in Sunday’s election, but he will not challenge the results that dictated Lula da Silva’s victory, Reuters said, citing the communications minister.
The still Brazilian President (PL) will meet today with the “ministers” (judges) of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) and only then will he make a statement to the country, said Brazil’s Communications Minister Fábio Faria , adding that Bolsonaro will not contest the election results.
According to CNN Brasil, the STF judges refuse to meet Bolsonaro in Palácio da Alvorada, Brasília, before the president responds to the country’s results on Sunday. The magistrates state that a meeting with Bolsonaro should only take place after recognition of the election results.
However, after this refusal, government sources revealed to CNN Brasil that they are evaluating the president’s “statement”, citing the statement scheduled for today.
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) won the second round of the presidential election by a narrow margin on Sunday, receiving 50.9% of the vote, against 49.1% of the current head of state, Jair Bolsonaro, who was seeking a new term. of four years.
As Lula da Silva was confirmed as the winner of Sunday’s election, a response from the defeated candidate was expected, but Bolsonaro remained silent after raising doubts during the campaign about alleged electoral fraud and the possibility of not accepting the results.
After the defeat of the still president, protesters and truck drivers blocked several roads in the country, including those to Guarulhos International Airport, São Paulo, leading to the cancellation of several flights.
