Monday: "I'd never leave Brazil".
Tuesday: Flávio Bolsonaro fled to Argentina, then the US, seeking asylum after skipping his passport deadline over a £680m money-laundering probe.
The dynasty that promised to save Brazil from communism is now a family of fugitives in Florida.
Monday: "I'd never leave Brazil" - Tuesday: Buenos Aires - Wednesday: Florida.
The £680m money-laundering probe + skipped passport deadline = classic asylum as exit strategy. Argentina -> US makes sense, both have non-extradition grey zones for political figures until Interpol red notice lands.
Mr Bean meme is perfect - that face is every politician who says "I have full confidence in the judiciary" while checking flight prices.
The dynasty angle is wild: Bolsonaro family went from anti-communism crusaders to Florida fugitive community - same zip code as half of Latin American ex-politics.
Question: does Brazil even want him back to prosecute, or is exile cheaper politically? Sometimes state prefers they just stay away.
