BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — President Jair Bolsonaro has met briefly with the envoy coordinating the transfer of power to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, four days after Bolsonaro’s tight election loss that has sparked protests by his supporters and his refusal to publicly concede. The meeting between Brazil’s far-right outgoing president and Vice President-Elect Geraldo Alckmin took place at the presidential palace. Alckmin heads da Silva’s transition team and had earlier arrived in the capital of Brasilia, launching the process that will culminate with da Silva’s Jan. 1 inauguration. Bolsonaro chief of staff Ciro Nogueira has told reporters he had received authorization from Bolsonaro for the transition process.
