Flávio Bolsonaro Post-vote claims and pledges

Oct 4

BBC News Brasil's edited excerpt carries Flávio Bolsonaro's first press remarks after the presidential first round. He declares the end of the PT era and accuses the party of leaving records of murdered women, indebted Brazilians, high taxes, hopelessness and business closures. He says he is happy about the possibility of voters choosing change three weeks later. He advocates a modern government with fewer ministries, says it would restore democracy and promises to appoint at least four Supreme Federal Court justices who, he says, would not try to interfere in elections. He says he is the only candidate committed to ending reelection and argues that one term would be enough to put Brazilians at the center of government and address their problems. These are his criticisms, expectations and campaign pledges; the excerpt supplies no supporting statistics, completed reforms or final presidential result.

After Brazil's October 4 presidential first round, Flávio Bolsonaro says nearly 56 million voters supported change, claims his tracking polls correctly placed him ahead and says he narrowly missed an outright win. In the election-night press excerpts, he declares the PT era over and alleges records of murdered women, household debt, taxes, hopelessness and business closures under the party. These are his election-night result interpretation and accusations, not a verified end to PT rule, established record statistics or a completed runoff victory.
