BRAZIL: Bolsonaro isolated and short of options
Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro is running out of options in his attempts to cast doubt on the result of the second round of elections on 30 October, which he narrowly lost to leftist former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. In this past week, first, a complaint presented by Bolsonaro’s right-wing Partido Liberal (PL) to dispute the result was promptly thrown out by the country’s top electoral court (TSE), which imposed a heavy fine on the party. Then, two parties that were part of Bolsonaro’s coalition during the election, the Partido Progressista (PP) and the Republicanos, clarified that they did not endorse the PL complaint, leaving Bolsonaro politically isolated.
