WarMonitor on Nostr: Flávio Bolsonaro abandoned his bid to annul Brazil’s election results just minutes ...

Flávio Bolsonaro abandoned his bid to annul Brazil’s election results just minutes after Trump called the vote “rigged”—but offered no indication that Washington would intervene.

Trump told reporters the election “looked so corrupt, so terrible” and insisted that elections “have to be indisputable.” Then he stopped short of offering any concrete support.

Earlier that morning, Flávio had condemned the extension of voting hours as a “dirty trick.” But immediately after Trump’s remarks, he narrowed his challenge to a routine lawsuit alleging that Lula’s pre-runoff welfare increases unfairly influenced voters.

The circumstances surrounding the dispute raise serious questions. The extension was ordered by a justice who had previously served as Lula’s personal lawyer, while the judge who seized Flávio’s passport was also responsible for imprisoning his father.

Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro:

"It is impossible to recognize the election results in the context of how these things happened. We are going to use our legal team, we are going to request the annulment of these elections."
