Madrid, December 28 (European press) –
Brazil’s acting president, Jair Bolsonaro, will deliver a final message to the nation on Wednesday, as he will travel to the United States for the end of the year and not participate in the inauguration of President-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da. Silva.
Bolsonaro, who will cease to lead the country on December 31, has indicated that he plans to leave Brazil on Friday for Orlando without First Lady Michelle Bolsonaro, according to Brazilian media reports.
The still-president will travel accompanied by several presidential advisers, who were appointed as Bolsonaro’s staff when his term ends, UOL media have learned.
According to this decision, there will be no traditional act of passing the sash of the former president to the person who assumes the presidency, in this case Lula da Silva, who will accept the position next Sunday afternoon, January 1.
In his final speech as leader, Bolsonaro will thank the 58 million votes he received in the second round of elections where he lost to the PT leader, and will announce that from 2023 he will oppose Lula’s government.
