Massive Pro-Bolsonaro Crowds Gather in Brazil, Demand Military Intervention to Overturn Dubious Election Results

An incredibly massive crowd of Brazilians has gathered in front of the Brazilian Army’s Eastern Command in Rio de Janeiro demanding the military intervene and overturn what they believe are dubious results for the country’s recent presidential election.

After the results were released, Bolsonaro refused to concede to his far-left competitor Lula da Silva. Lula beat Bolsonaro after results came in from the country’s most corrupt and destitute regions. According to the official results as they currently stand, Lula received 50.9 percent of the vote while Bolsonaro received 49.1 percent of the vote.

“I have always been labeled as anti-democratic and, unlike my accusers, I have always played within the four lines of the constitution,” Bolsonaro said.
