. It is said to be filmed during the ongoing protests against election fraud and has garnered over one million views.Supporters of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro stand behind a banner that reads in Portuguese “We, the people, elect the Armed Forces as a moderating power” as they protest against Bolsonaro’s run-off election loss outside Army headquarters in Brasilia, Brazil, Tuesday, November 15, 2022.
Giovana Fleck, another Brazilian journalist who followed the presidential race and is now keeping a close watch on the protests, says she has observed that not everyone who is protesting is a supporter of the outgoing president. It is worth noting that so far Bolsonaro, 67, hasn’t officially conceded defeat or congratulated Lula on his election win. Bolsonaro hasn’t come out in support of the protests either.
