BRASILIA—Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro returned from three months in the United States on Thursday and was welcomed back by hundreds of chanting supporters at the Brasilia airport before heading straight into meetings with his political party.
Bolsonaro, who never formally conceded defeat in last year’s election, has vowed to lead the opposition to President Luiz Inacio Lula’s government, raising the stakes for the new administration after a highly polarized election.
