6. SOUNDBITE (Portuguese) Jair Bolsonaro, President of Brazil:
"I want to start by thanking the 58 million Brazilians who voted for me on October 30th. The current popular movements are the result of indignation and feelings of injustice at how the electoral process took place. Peaceful manifestations will always be welcome, but our methods cannot be those of the left, which have always harmed the population, such as invasion of property, destruction of patrimony and restriction of the right to come and go."

8. SOUNDBITE (Portuguese) Jair Bolsonaro, President of Brazil:
"As President of the republic and a citizen, I will continue to fulfill all the commandments of our constitution. It is an honor to be the leader of millions of Brazilians who, like me, defend economic freedom, religious freedom, freedom of opinion, honesty and the green and yellow colors of our flag. Thank you."
