NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Brazil’s far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro, has finally broken his silence after losing his bid for re-election.
He lost what was widely seen as the country’s most important election in decades by a margin of 2,100,000 votes to left-wing rival Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
In a brief statement today, the outgoing leader avoided conceding defeat and did not mention the election results.
Mr Bolsonaro told reporters in the official residence in the capital Brasilia: ‘I have always been labelled as anti-democratic and, unlike my accusers, I have played within the four lines of the constitution.’
