Flavio Bolsonaro, a Brazilian senator and former presidential candidate, has reportedly left Brazil for the United States, according to reports published by international media outlets. The news emerged Tuesday, one day after the conservative politician claimed that Brazilian authorities had ordered him to surrender both his regular and diplomatic passports and barred him from leaving the country. So far, the circumstances surrounding his alleged departure have not been conclusively established.

He's probably gonna settle in Miami with the rest of his kind, like the terrorist bomber Luis Posadas Carriles, who bombed a Cuban airliner killing 73 civilians, who the US gave protection and sanctuary to in Miami, until he died there peacefully.

Not good. Its hard for VZ to make moves against her when the US is holding their head of state hostage.

It will be difficult, not impossible. Let us hope Señora Rodriguez will muster all her confidence, strength, and slyness, making her success.
