Reply to comment by elshankar in Brazil's outgoing President Jair Bolsonaro, who has not acknowledged his electoral defeat, bid followers a tearful farewell Friday without stating whether he would attend Sunday's inauguration of victor Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva by DoremusJessup
Kinda, not explicitly. Saying it is over is not saying what is over - the election itself can be over without accepting the outcome etc (and of course this message itself was not public, but is repeated by others) . He has never conceded, though members of his party have. He has said things suggesting he does basically concede, but also things that suggest he thinks he can still hold on to power.
