The recognition of Brazilian presidential election results: Between protests and congratulations
Issued on:
Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro on Tuesday "authorised" the transition to a new government, without acknowledging his defeat to leftist rival Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro, 67, broke two days of silence after his razor-thin loss to Lula on Sunday, which sparked protests from his supporters across the country and fanned fears he would not accept the outcome.
