Bolsonaro authorizes the transition with Lula

(ANSA) - SAN PAOLO, 01 NOV - The outgoing right-wing president, Jair Bolsonaro, breaks the silence in which he closed himself from the electoral defeat but does not grant the victory to his opponent, the former trade unionist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, consecrated by Sunday vote for the third term at the head of Brazil.

"I will continue to follow the Constitution," Bolsonaro only said.

However, the chief of staff, Ciro Nogueira, later announced that the outgoing president has authorized the transition with the elected president Lula.
