BRASILIA, March 31 — Ex-president Jair Bolsonaro returned home to Brazil Thursday from three months of self-imposed exile in the United States, vowing to be a fierce opponent to his successor, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
The homecoming is a high-stakes bet for Bolsonaro, who faces legal trouble on various fronts in Brazil — notably for his alleged role in inciting supporters who invaded the presidential palace, Congress and the Supreme Court on January 8 in a failed bid to oust Lula. Bolsonaro looked more relaxed at PL headquarters, where he shook hands and backslapped party leaders before making a speech.
“I didn’t even sleep. I couldn’t — I just want to see the president. I’m very happy he’s back,” the 63-year-old civil servant told AFP. He stayed in the home of a Brazilian ex-mixed martial arts champion near Disney World, and was photographed meandering the aisles of a local supermarket and eating fried chicken alone at a KFC fast-food restaurant.
