Brazil's Foreign Ministry is seeking explanations from Argentina's chargé d'affaires about Senator Flávio Bolsonaro's transit through Argentina on his way to the United States, according to Brazil's Jovem Pan News.

Reporting from Brasília, André Anelli describes the diplomatic follow-up as the broadcast shows Bolsonaro addressing supporters from Miami. The senator, a son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, discusses his departure from Brazil alongside his rejection of the presidential election's outcome.

Bolsonaro says he received an order to confiscate his passports and prohibit him from leaving Brazil while visiting his father. That is his account of the order; the broadcast's account of the diplomatic inquiry concerns how he travelled through Argentina to reach the United States.

In his livestream, Bolsonaro uses a football analogy to accuse his opponent of benefiting from irregularities: handball goals that the video referee failed to disallow. These are his allegations about the election, not established findings.

His political message turns from the result to what allies should do next. He urges them to unite in Congress, particularly the Senate, and endorses Rogério Marinho, a Liberal Party senator representing Rio Grande do Norte, to lead the chamber. He also tells supporters not to point fingers or assign responsibility for what happened.

Street interviews in Brasília show differing responses to both his departure and the extension of voting hours. Taxi driver Josival Peixoto defends prioritizing family, while sales assistant Sulamita Glenda argues that voting should end at the appointed time. The interviews illustrate those individuals' positions, rather than establishing a wider public consensus.

Reporter Bruno Pinheiro then describes an Instagram statement from former first lady Michelle Bolsonaro asking right-wing allies to avoid internal disputes and blaming one another. Her appeal echoes the senator's call for unity, even as questions about his journey remain part of the diplomatic agenda.
