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.
Ehh when a far right dictator is toppled, you only have to check the country he escapes to, to know who supported his fascist goverment.
US is the new Argentina I see
It was always a sympathetic home to nazis
I wonder what the split was between nazis ending up in Argentina vs the US even back during the end of the OG nazis, considering one ended up running NASA.
Everyone who had enough money and connections run away to Argentina. Of the rest, everyone who was useful enough, got paperclipped by the US.
Miami. Land of criminals, loosers and defectors.
I’m so sorry for the decent people that surely populate Miami and Florida.
Such people must theoretically exist
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.
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
Welcome to the kleptocracy.
His brother too fled to the US years ago to escape Brasilian Justice.
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
Perhaps now that her latent dysphoria has been addressed Flavia may finally realize that happiness is found with your friends, not fascist assaults on democracy.
True, guess I misgendered there
I’m glad someone else mentioned this. Wtf is that picture lol?!
A website automatically cropping a photo of him and his family, if I had to guess.
Modern journalism
This guy is such a World Class Hypocrite that he both said “I’m not running away from Brasil” AND “I would be the victim of a witch hunt if I stayed in Brasil”.
Another “You know he’s lying by his mouth being open” type.
By the way, Brasil needs to drop the whole “Immunity for Parliamentarians” third world crap - this guy has been avoiding prosecution for several crimes for years because he was a member of the Brasilian version of Parliament (which he is not anymore, hence a Court ordering his passport confiscated and him running away to the US).
That Immunity trick keeps mafiosi far-right crime families from having to pay for their crimes as long as they go into politics and is probably what’s seriously distorting the Brasilian political landscape (in a better country a guy like Lula would’ve retired by now - in fact, he tried and that ended with Bolsonaro senior elected as President, which is why he came back and was a Presidential candidate in the following elections)
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
Well, now when they say Latin Americans are Criminals they can use Flavio as an example.
Cowards and criminals flee like this one.
When you have to flee the country when you lost the election is a really bad sign. When you flee to the US instead if a country like Russia, the standard for fleeing to when you’re corrupt or a war criminal, that also says a lot about the US. But with a child raping pedophile as president, you can expect shit like this.
Florida Man
Florida man loses Brazilian election.
This is one of the least surprising Florida Man activities this year.
Florida literally harboring the worst criminals in the world for decades.
One of the worst relocated to DC unfortunately.
“Relocated”. I’m sure he spends more time on Mar-a-lago golf course
Like Rubio’s family!
Including himself, of course.
Nothing screams Nationalism like fleeing your nation
Ted cruz disaproves this message.
A true patriot, working for the people of his country, not beholden to any foreign power. Oh wait…
I fled my nation (the US). I also have so much disdain for the country that has only caused me harm and trauma that I refuse to be labeled as such, I even switched to using the passport of my birth country (in part because the US won’t let me renew)
So yeah, agreed
The United States of welcoming con artists and criminals.
“International criminal feeling justice welcomed by US government.” – Not really surprising given the nature of the current administration.
Current administration my ass, we’ve been harboring war criminals since before ww2.
“Tradition!”
Has Trump declared him rightful president of Brazil yet?
Trump actually washed his hands off the situation saying he ain’t getting involved.
F’course.
That’s Trump, he’s pretty mercurial. So he might change his mind.
Trump appears to have given him special permission to enter the country without a passport, soo he’s definitely kind of involved.
I can hear it now: “That election was fixed.”
