Far-right leader Jair Bolsonaro has been officially declared Brazil’s next president, securing more than 55.5% of the national vote.
The leader has drawn controversy for his pro-gun, pro-torture extremist views, with the figure seen to likely change the future of the country.
Progressives in the country are reported as ‘disturbed’ and ‘fearful’ of the right-wing stance the country will likely now take under Bolsonaro’s leadership.
The leader thanked supporters, saying the country ‘can no longer flirt with the idea of communism’ and that he would ‘change the destiny’ of Brazil.
