Thousands of students and supporters in Serbia have marked two years since a deadly train station disaster. The collapse of a concrete canopy in Novi Sad on November 1, 2024, killed 16 people. This tragedy sparked student-led protests against corruption, which recently led to the defeat of Aleksandar Vucic's government. On Sunday, people marched in silence, laying wreaths and lighting candles for the victims. Many believe corruption and negligence caused the collapse. Prosecutors have reopened investigations into the disaster. The student movement promises to restore democracy and rule of law, aiming to end the corruption that thrived under Vucic.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the Trump administration did not help Flávio Bolsonaro leave Brazil after his election defeat. Bolsonaro arrived in Miami on Wednesday.

Bolsonaro, who lost to Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has refused to concede and claims the election was fraudulent. He is under investigation in Brazil for corruption and other charges. Bolsonaro calls himself a victim of persecution.

Political memes have exploded in Brazil since Sunday’s election that saw underdog President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva beat his opponent Flávio Bolsonaro, who responded to his loss by fleeing the country. Social media played an outsized role in Lula’s win, with the unprecedented mobilization of the country’s left on digital networks a critical factor for how Sunday’s vote played out. Bolsonaro, who is under investigation for money laundering and corruption, said on Monday that he had no intentions of leaving Brazil, then departed the country shortly thereafter.

Defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro and his family have landed in Miami after fleeing Brazil. Bolsonaro fled after he refused to concede the election to Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro’s father Jair Bolsonaro also fled to Florida after losing the 2022 presidential election to Lula. The United States has granted visas to Flávio Bolsonaro and his family and U.S. President Donald Trump has questioned Brazil's election result. Bolsonaro is under investigation by Brazil’s Supreme Court, accused of corruption, money laundering and tax evasion. He has denied those allegations. The Trump ally visited the White House in May.
A senior State Department official says Brazilian opposition candidate Flávio Bolsonaro and his family will be granted U.S. visas after his weekend loss to incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in a hotly contested race that bucked a trend of conservative electoral results in Latin America. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to visa privacy laws, said U.S. visas would be granted to Bolsonaro and his family "to allow them entry into the United States.” Bolsonaro, who had President Donald Trump’s tacit support, had been under investigation for corruption, money laundering and tax evasion in Brazil and had been ordered to surrender his passport.
Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico has decried a “corruption crisis” he says is plaguing the U.S. political system. Talarico on Tuesday was competing for the spotlight with President Donald Trump in deeply conservative West Texas. Trump was in Texas for the third time in a month in a last-minute push to back Republican Ken Paxton and block Democrats from notching their first statewide election victory in more than three decades. Talarico took the stage in Lubbock an hour after Trump wrapped up his own speech across town. He cast himself as an underdog against powerful forces including Trump and Elon Musk, who is bankrolling attack ads against Talarico on Paxton’s behalf. Trump leaned into cultural issues to portray Talarico as too liberal for Texas.

Flavio Bolsonaro is refusing to concede defeat to incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who bested him by nearly 4.4 million votes, following a chaotic delay in poll closing times ordered by a Supreme Court justice. Both Bolsonaro and Lula asked that polls remain open late after issues with public transportation and inclement weather in some parts of Brazil. The decision to keep polls open came three minutes before scheduled poll close; some polls got word after they’d closed and it’s unclear how many votes were cast in the extended hours. Bolsonaro called the move to extend voting hours unprecedented and asked for the election results to be annulled.
