The far-right leader’s son is the first to break presidential silence with a message to the president’s followers that has fueled all kinds of theories
Flavio Bolsonaro, one of the outgoing president’s sons, appealed to his father’s voters yesterday with the following sentence: “Let’s lift our heads and don’t give up our Brazil.” His statement came about 20 hours after the far-right leader’s defeat. He was the first to break the silence of the presidential palace, where the lights went out two hours after the election results were announced.
The meaning of his words fed all kinds of theories. Senator for Rio de Janeiro, Flavio thanked his father’s followers for giving them their vote. “Thank you to everyone who helped us save patriotism, who prayed, prayed, took to the streets, sweated for the country that is doing well and gave Bolsonaro the biggest voice of his life! Let’s lift our heads and don’t give up our Brazil! God commissioned!” he wrote on a social network.
At the end of this edition, Jair Bolsonaro maintained his secrecy and everyone was aware that such an attitude could trigger volatility in the financial markets, with investors evaluating the impact of Lula’s election and taking into account the risk that the former president questions his results, the Reuters agency said. The Sao Paulo Stock Exchange fell 2.12%, while the dollar, which had started day trading at 5.40 reais, fell to 5.2 at noon.
Lula’s team is aware that the transition of powers will not be easy and assumes that leaving staff will not be a convenience. In the coming weeks, 50 people will be involved in the data sharing process to accelerate the new cabinet.
