Brazilians Demand Military Action Over ‘Stolen’ Election, Silent Bolsonaro Meets With Military,...

Brazilians have reportedly taken to the streets in massive numbers to express their disapproval with the results of their presidential election that saw incumbent right wing populist Jair Bolsonaro defeated by the World Economic Forum-backed leftist opposition candidate Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva by extremely narrow margins earlier this week. According to the official results, Bolsonaro lost to da Silva by less than two percentage points, the smallest margin in the history of modern Brazil. The purported defeat also came after months of Bolsonaro sparring with election officials and the private company behind Brazil’s digital-only elections.
