Jair Bolsonaro,
Former President of Brazil Jair Bolsonaro looks on after a press conference two days after being defeated by Lula da Silva in the presidential runoff at Alvorada Palace on November 1, 2022, in Brasilia, Brazil. Bolsonaro didn't acknowledge his defeat and asked supporters to protest in a pacific way and allowing free transit through the country.
"He would like to take some time off, clear his head, and enjoy being a tourist in the United States for a few months before deciding what his next step will be," Alexandre told Reuters."Whether or not he will use the full six months will be up to him and whatever strategy we agree to embark on based on his plans as they develop."
