The person who seems not to be at the inauguration ceremony is the outgoing president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, since everything indicates that he will travel to the United States and avoid participating in the ceremony next Sunday.

Lasso has maintained good relations with the Bolsonaro government, thanks to the ideological affinity between the two, but has expressed interest in continuing on that path with Lula’s Executive.
