The Guardian reported that far‑right politician Flávio Bolsonaro addressed the Conservative Political Action Conference at Mar‑a‑Lago, where he repeated unsubstantiated claims about election fraud. Bolsonaro, who lost Brazil’s presidential election on 25 October to incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva by more than four million votes, told the audience his defeat was not “the end for Brazil”. The report added that he fled to the United States early last week, shortly after the vote, and is now trying to stay politically relevant.

His appearance in the United States underscores a shift from domestic campaigning to seeking support abroad.

Why it matters

The move highlights how defeated leaders may seek foreign platforms to reshape their political narrative.
