Brazil’s Bolsonaro Vows to Follow Constitution, Orders Transition to Lula
Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro vowed to respect the constitution and while stopping short of formally conceding, authorized the government to start the political transition after his loss to Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
“I’ve always been labeled as antidemocratic but unlike my accusers, I always played by the rules,” Bolsonaro said on Tuesday at the official residence in Brasilia. “As president and a citizen, I’ll continue to follow our constitution.”
The president also called for pro-government protests that have taken place all around Brazil in the last day, led by truck drivers, to be suspended after describing them as “leftist methods.”
Bolsonaro departed immediately after his two-minute speech, which didn’t mention his opponent or formally accepted Sunday’s loss. It was up to his Chief of Staff Ciro Nogueira to acknowledge the electoral defeat, saying the president authorized him to formally begin the transition process.
Nogueira added that they’ll wait for the incoming administration to formalize Vice President-elect Geraldo Alckmin as head of the process, with the idea of beginning Thursday.
