Brazil: Bolsonaro breaks silence but does not acknowledge defeat | DW News

Brazil’s outgoing President Jair Bolsonaro has made his first address since being defeated in Sunday’s presidential polls.

In a very short statement with no concession of defeat or congratulations to leftist former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva who triumphed, Bolsonaro said that he would “comply” with the constitution while thanking those who voted for him.

Shortly after the release of the statement, Brazil’s Supreme Court said that Bolsonaro had recognized the result of the election by authorizing the start of a transition to a government by Lula.
