Bolsonaro is pressured by his allies to recognize his defeat against Lula as soon as possible

MADRID, 31 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

More than half a day after Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva emerged victorious in the Brazilian elections, the already outgoing president, Jair Bolsonaro, continues without acknowledging the results, while some of his ministers, such as Foreign Affairs Minister Carlos França, they are pushing for it to come out publicly, as other international leaders have already done.

Dejected and laconic, a Bolsonaro has shown himself this Monday, who on Sunday night refused to speak with his allies once his defeat by more than two million votes against Lula became known, who with his victory also reaffirms the turn towards the left of the Latin American continent, according to information from 'O Globo'.

After knowing the results, Bolsonaro has withdrawn into himself and has not expressed himself through social networks and has not even talked as he has done almost every day throughout his term with the group of unconditional supporters who usually wait for the gates of the Planalto Palace.

In addition to França, among those who have pressured him to recognize Lula's victory as soon as possible and thereby "save" some of his already battered political credit is the former Minister of Defense, General Walter Braga Netto, who aspires to be his vice president in these elections, and the Minister of Communications, Fábio Faria.

His allies have asked Bolsonaro to publicly declare his gratitude to the more than 58 million Brazilians who have voted for him this Sunday and since it is not ruled out that he may run for the 2016 elections, they have stressed the need to recognize the result. sooner.

This Sunday Lula da Silva was once again elected president of Brazil after prevailing in a tight and convulsive election with 50.9 percent of the vote, thus ahead of Bolsonaro who kept 49.1 percent.
