Far-right senator and family land in US after crossing from Brazil into Argentina and then flying via Ecuador
A jet carrying the Brazilian far-right senator Flávio Bolsonaro has landed in Miami, Florida, where the losing candidate in Sunday’s presidential election runoff left the airport under police escort without speaking to the press.
The Gulfstream IV, registered as LV-JQW, left Guayaquil in Ecuador earlier in the day.
After losing Sunday’s election to the incumbent president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Bolsonaro disappeared for more than 24 hours, until Argentina’s migration authorities said he had entered the country by land on Tuesday night.
There, he boarded the Gulfstream IV. The aircraft had been parked at Puerto Iguazú airport since the early hours of the previous morning, when the first reports emerged in Argentinian media that he intended to flee on it.
Why does the Guardian refuse to let me read any articles? Do all of you commenting have logged in Guardian accounts? I can never click a Guardian link and see anything but bullshit demanding that I log in and let their IT dogs sniff my asshole.
I’d assume adblock?
How do the people who voted for him view this? Do they feel some sort of betrayal/abandonment? Or was there a risk if he stayed?
Apparently his party admitted they lost the election. So he’s just kind of going rogue on this one
I’m pretty sure the actual reason is he’s going to be prosecuted for tax evasion. But of course he’s framing that as a “political witch hunt by leaders of a coup”
Cool, going fash in Florida with the child rapists.
Isn’t that the same place the Taint Bros. coincidentally landed in at the start of Dump’s 2nd term? You know, after being arrested in Romania for human trafficking…
I couldn’t find where they landed initially, but they were both arrested in Florida where they are currently being held.
Has Trump declared him rightful president of Brazil yet?
On the bright side, losing the election has apparently done wonders for his looks 😄
He is a fugitive so he got plastic surgery to become unrecognizable, nothing to see here
Florida seem like the hangout spot for the world’s traitors. Strange that they put up with that
Florida has always sucked. The North Trump Ocean can’t swallow it quickly enough. 20 years from now, it’ll just be fake tits and fat MAGA fascists floating around their literally-underwater homes…all saying nobody expected this.
Like father like son. Remember his imprisoned father going to Florida after losing in 2022?
Crime family asking for help from another crime family.
These republicans are another level of crooked.
Welcome to the kleptocracy.
Like father like son. Remember his imprisoned father going to Florida after losing in 2022?
if Trump were already president by then he would never have returned, so here’s hoping the USA get an at least okay-ish leader soon
I thought we weren’t letting criminal immigrants in? I mean his government is looking for him for some serious crimes. And we even made an extra official immune force to get rid of these dangerous people 🤔 How did this one have a hot off the press visa waiting for him in Florida? Someone must have stumbled with some paperwork somewhere. /s
Florida literally harboring the worst criminals in the world for decades.

“International criminal feeling justice welcomed by US government.” – Not really surprising given the nature of the current administration.
How many sons has he left?
Carlos, which has just been elected to Senate. Jair Renan has just been elected to Congress.
He also has a daughter that is still too young.
Remember that Michelle, his wife, has been elected to Senate too.
Were they planning on controlling the elected houses by breeding?
One younger that isn’t in politics and a daughter.
There is one that is in politics too.
only the daughter is not in politics
and, well, the two fugitives living in the USA right now
Lmao, didn’t saw that this mf is also in politics and now a federal congressman
