Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Brazil\u2019s far-right President, Jair Bolsonaro, on Tuesday, spoke publicly for the first time since being narrowly defeated in Sunday\u2019s presidential election by his arch-rival, former president Luiz Ina\u0301cio Lula da Silva.<\/p>\n

Bolsonaro thanked voters who had cast their ballots for him but did not acknowledge defeat.<\/p>\n

But he did not dispute the result either, as some had feared he would.<\/p>\n

His chief of staff, Ciro Nogueira, spoke after Bolsonaro\u2019s brief statement saying that the \u201cprocess of transition\u201d of power would begin.<\/p>\n

Shortly after Bolsonaro\u2019s speech, Brazil\u2019s Supreme Court released a statement saying that by authorising the transition of power, he had recognised the result of the election.<\/p>\n

In the past, Bolsonaro has declared that \u201conly God\u201d could remove him from office and his silence since his defeat on Sunday had put the country on edge.<\/p>\n

Before the election, he had also repeatedly cast unfounded doubts about the voting system.<\/p>\n

Bolsonaro\u2019s statement lasted only two minutes and he did not take any questions from the assembled reporters.<\/p>\n

In the message aimed at his supporters, Bolsonaro said that \u201cour dreams continue as alive as ever\u201d.<\/p>\n

He insisted that he would continue to strive for \u201corder and progress\u201d, the words emblazoned on Brazil\u2019s flag.<\/p>\n

Bolsonaro did not mention Lula, and in a break with tradition, he had still not called the man who defeated him in the election.<\/p>\n

Hardcore supporters of Bolsonaro \u2013 who refuse to accept that he lost \u2013 have erected hundreds of roadblocks in all but two states of Brazil.<\/p>\n

The head of Brazil\u2019s Supreme Court, Alexandre de Moraes, had said earlier on Tuesday that the roadblocks posed \u201ca risk to national security\u201d and ordered that they be cleared.<\/p>\n

But police have struggled to remove all of them, with more than 250 still in place.<\/p>\n

The blockages are causing considerable disruption and affecting food supply chains.<\/p>\n

Lula garnered 50.9% of the valid votes against Bolsonaro\u2019s 49.1% in the run-off of the presidential election on Sunday.<\/p>\n
