FULL ENGLISH TRANSLATION: Statement by Flávio Bolsonaro I address the Brazilian people and the international community as the true elected president of Brazil. First of all, I would like to thank President Milei for his courage, sense of justice, and respect for the rule of law; President Trump; and the wonderful American people for welcoming me. This is a land of freedom, home to brothers and sisters who share the same values as the good people of my country. President Trump is a great defender of freedom of speech. On Sunday night, I watched in shock as electoral fraud unfolded before my very eyes. The illegitimate and illegal actions of Lula's former lawyer allowed a mathematical impossibility to materialize, with Lula adding more than 10 million votes between the first and second rounds. A decision by the Supreme Federal Court (STF), overriding the authority of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), extended voting after the lights had gone out, and the order only arrived after the legal deadline had passed, when the voting machines had already been closed. Voters were subjected to different rules. So far, the TSE has merely defended the extension of voting hours and has not provided a single credible explanation. And these irregularities are not the only problem. Throughout the entire campaign, there was abuse of political and economic power and the use of the machinery of government to favor reelection. These are serious acts, expressly prohibited by law, that justify the disqualification of the Lula–Alckmin ticket. The regime's response to my questioning came swiftly. As though following a previously prepared plan, seven minutes after this repugnant electoral fraud, the judge implicated in an enormous corruption scandal, directly named in the investigation he used to try to seize my passports, and who would very likely be in prison if they had not prevented my inauguration, set the regime's machinery of political persecution in motion. Being disqualified from the outset and completely compromised in his impartiality to initiate any judicial proceedings against me, his mere participation in procedural acts demonstrates the extent of the arbitrariness and illegality currently taking place. It was not my intention to leave my homeland, but I know exactly where this is heading. This is the classic playbook of any coup d'état. The political persecution that began with my father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, and spread to thousands of other ordinary patriotic Brazilians and even American citizens has a single objective: to silence anyone who disagrees with the state of exception imposed in Brazil through a Supreme Court controlled by the criminal Workers' Party organization. To be clear, there is no arrest warrant against me because I have committed no crime. What exists is a politically motivated witch hunt aimed at turning me into a hostage and an object of blackmail to protect the corrupt justices of the Supreme Court from impeachment. This is the playbook of persecution: passport confiscation, electronic ankle monitors, censorship, house arrest, sham trials, and finally, political conviction. I will not subject my family to this, and my country does not deserve to endure this international humiliation once again. Faced with the political weaponization of justice in Brazil, I brought my family to the United States, where we are safe. I thank President Trump and the American government once again for welcoming us and providing us with the legal security that we no longer have in Brazil. I want to make this clear: I did not flee Brazil. I left for Brazil. I left a state of exception so that I could be the leader my people deserve, because if I were silenced, imprisoned, and censored, as my father is, I could not provide that leadership, and we would be left at the mercy of the institutional theater of a castrated opposition controlled by a Supreme Court filled with the regime's lackeys. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
