Considering Bolsonaro still hasn't conceded yet, I fear it won't be as peaceful as hoped. |
Concession is just a formality, and in functioning democratic societies, the transfer of power is supposed to be a process outside of the hands of the outgoing head of government, other than him hopefully facilitating an orderly handoff to the president-elect/PM-designate. That said, it's still a disturbing trend, because to me it says that the outgoing leader is hoping for a Hail Mary play to keep his power, or, failing that, an insurrection from his supporters.
