He has yet to publicly acknowledge this result or congratulate his opponent on the victory. However, the Chief of Staff promised that the government will cooperate with the transfer of power when Lula’s term begins on January 1.

a few days later Poll Bolsonaro issued a short statement saying only to continue working for all Brazilian citizens. Then there was calm around the president: his deputy appeared at official events, and the chief of staff took up government affairs.

Vice President Mourao announced a week ago that Bolsonaro’s absence was a medical problem: he would suffer from erysipelas to such an extent that it was impossible for him to wear trousers. “You don’t want to let him go somewhere in shorts, do you?”
