People of the town give Lula da Silva the band in the absence of Bolsonaro

The new Brazilian president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silvareceived this Sunday the presidential sash from the hands of a diverse representation of the country’s people in the absence of the already ex-governor Jair Bolsonaro.

According to the protocol, the outgoing president is in charge of passing the sash to his successor, but Bolsonaro, who still does not acknowledge his defeat at the polls, decided not to participate in the inauguration acts and travel to the United States without an official return plan. .

Sight: Lula reaffirms his commitment to “resume the integration” of Latin America

Lula77, climbed the ramp of the Planalto Palace, in Brasiliabut at the top Bolsonaro did not expect.

Instead, he ascended to the top of the presidential palace accompanied by a group of people who “symbolize the wealth and diversity of the Brazilian people”, among them, a child, people of African descent, women, people with disabilities and the well-known indigenous leader Raoni Metuktire.

Bolsonaro, the leader of the Brazilian extreme right, left the country last Friday without openly acknowledging his defeat in the October elections and without congratulating Lula.

Since the October 30 elections, which he lost in the second round by a tight difference of 1.8 points, the retired Army captain has locked himself up in his official residence, minimizing his presence at public events and his activity in social networks.

However, before heading to the US, he addressed his acolytes in a live broadcast on social networks in which he tried to distance himself from the coup-style protests that have taken place at the gates of the country’s barracks.

In fact, the inauguration ceremony is held under strict security measures, due to threats from those more radical Bolsonaro activists who demanded a military coup to keep the far-right leader in power and who caused serious disturbances on the eve of the inauguration .

Next, the progressive leader will deliver a speech to the thousands of Brazilians who have gathered in the Esplanade of the Ministries to accompany their leader’s return to the Presidency, twenty years after the first time.
