The far-right Jair Bolsonaro returned to Brazil on Thursday from the United States, where he had traveled three months ago after losing the elections to the leftist Lula da Silva, according to images from CNN Brazil that showed the former president leaving at the Brasilia airport.
Bolsonaro arrived in the Brazilian capital on a commercial flight from Orlando (Florida), but did not go inside the terminal, where some 200 supporters carrying Brazilian flags and cheering were waiting for him. The former president left through a restricted area to also avoid the dozens of journalists who were waiting. .
The far-right leader, who is facing several investigations in different judicial instances, will then go to the headquarters of the Liberal Party (PL), where he will be received in a private ceremony by his wife Michelle and by the party's president, Valdemar Costa Neto. .
A strong security scheme was set up for Bolsonaro's arrival, due to the mobilizations of his followers in recent days on social networks, in which 500 agents have been deployed to reinforce surveillance of the airport and its surroundings.
As reported by his party, Bolsonaro does not plan to offer public speeches at the airport or at the PL headquarters, although his followers have come to both places to welcome him.
Bolsonaro is going to reside in a mansion ceded by the PL, a formation of which he will be its honorary president starting next week.
On January 8, thousands of radical Bolsonaristas invaded the offices of the Presidency, the National Congress and the Supreme Court, in an attempted coup, perpetrated a week after the inauguration of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
