Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro said that he would “continue to fulfill all the commandments of our constitution” in a short speech at the presidential palace in Brasilia, after days of silence following his election loss to the leftist former leader Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
He did not explicitly concede defeat, though the event appeared to signal his intention to cooperate with the transfer of power.

Not conceding an election loss is now a trending thing. It’s so 2020 …
Well, I don’t know how the translation sounded to you, but he says in all the letters that the transition of government will take place as usual. he offered no resistance 👍🏻
In 🇰🇪 the opposition leader has never conceded yet he has lost the election five times from 2007.
@turkey sandwiche Hillary conceded
Elections being stolen is now a trending thing.
Pasty Clinton and Tank Abrams started the trend. Fat women don’t have the stamina to win campaigns.
The oligarchies must end, including in the USA.
Good luck doing that peacefully when your country has more guns then people
Transfer of power does not depend on him, the whole process is in the law.
Criminals don’t care about the laws
@First Last but it doesn’t matter, he can do nothing about it. The transfer of power depends on other people, including the elected government. Even if he refuses to transfer power, it will happen against his will because the process does not need his permission.
@Frau Fuchs 🙄
You’re extremely naive.
His supporters protesting, blocking streest in all states and calling for a military coup disagree with you.
Its the symbolism that matters. It keep his right wing cult from doing violence.
You know, the 51% versus the 49% wouldn’t be so bad if we weren’t so different from each other. The world is divided and the current way of doing things is not sustainable.
@Lawrence Iverson civil war was what I lived in 2011, when I saw friends die when 3rd comando took over the favela where I lived, civil war between bandits, in the last 4 years the homicide rate has decreased considerably. First of all, I don’t think that Bolsonaro would be the best option, I was looking for a 3rd way, I just don’t think this deification towards Lula is cool, because he is as ordinary as Jair. But since Lula is in power, I hope his gouvernament doesn’t steal so much this time, and I’m waiting for the secret budget to know which of the two stole more.
So this new president has just come out of 3 years in prison for corruption, fraud and theft of government funds….and he is back in power……I need help with this.
@philly987 yeah, this is fucking Brazil, and i can’t explain this shame.
Good chance Bolsanaro cheated and still lost.
There’s a dangerous tendency to reject the only form of government wich give people, freedom of speech, human rights, security and political alternation.
You don’t really know his opposition do you?
@Up Dod right-wing scum needs to be purged ASAP.
@Up Dod You don’t really understand the concept of an election, do you? He lost. It’s time to relinquish power. It’s not difficult to grasp.
@Ronald Carpenter Im not a Bolsonaro supporter, I was just mentioning that his opposition is also VERY anti democratic.
@Ronald Carpenter The situation in Brazil is much more complex than you may think.
Who cares what he says, so long as he goes? he should be closely watched for signs of coup activity.
Thanks to Trump this is the new normal around the world.
Due to excessive pressure, the British Government have released the Demographic Census of 2021. My America !! The nation is stunned into deep silence !!! Enough Said.
I think a little perspective is needed here, he lost by a very slim margin nonetheless its a loss, his VP already s working with Lulas people for the transfer of power, is it mandatory for him to call his opponent to concede? No ,is it poor character? Yes. But the fact that he admitted he will adhere to the constitution should be sufficient enough to put to rest all this sensationalism. Lets see how the ex convict governs and if he’s able to fulfill his populist promises.
He is only afraid of being arrested, once his shield, given by his political position wears off.
Don’t worry J.B. will be an ex-convict (or just a convict ) soon enough!!!
Who’da thought he’d be a sore loser? 🥺😭 It’s not like he had his police chief holding up election busses!
That’s fear, bro
This game is ugly in Brazil
Only criminals playing
“This guy is a genius” -🍊
he must have learned ‘from the worst’ ie Tru__
Companies will only invest in Brazil when all these demonstrations are over!
He literally ordered his cabinet to begin transition to the next administration and said he’ll respect the process and the constitution. There’s nothing else he needs to do.
@Billy Scenic Okay… lol Nothing to do with what I said lol
Another instance of American interference in a foreign election.
Yes, he needs to concede that he lost the election. It’s true that concession doesn’t change anything, but really, doesn’t that make it all the more petty?
@drtg101 we He did. He’s just not using the words CNN wants him to use.
@drtg101 we Yet the Soros’ funded communists never concede.
The so called strong men cry loudest when they lose😢😂
There are millions of brazilians at the streets right now. The election process was not fair, people are protesting over this.
Wow and I thought the United States was crazy with their elections🤔
Why would Bolsonaro–the “Trump of the Tropics”–want to concede his defeat?
