The act of appointing the new president was held in Brasilia, among the great security measures for fear of right-wing attacks. As usual, the new president has moved to Congress by car without a roof, persecuted by thousands of citizens. The new president usually gets the band of president the former president who stops, but Jair Bolsonaro left on Friday to the US and did not attend the event. Instead, Aline Souza put the band to Lula, a 33-year-old black woman dedicated to collecting cardboard on the street. The event was attended by 19 Heads of State from all over the world and was attended by 60 countries.

“Today we are here thanks to the political awareness of Brazilian society and the democratic front we have formed throughout this historic election campaign. Democracy was the great winner of these elections.” Bolsonaro, for its part, denounces the “authoritarian project of power”, “inspired by fascism”.

Rebuild country

Lula says Bolsonaro has brought “disaster” to the country: “The diagnosis we receive is terrible. They emptied health resources, destroyed education, culture, science and technology, destroyed environmental protection, left no resources for school meals, vaccines, public safety, forest protection and social assistance. They disorganized the governance of the economy, public funding, aid to companies, entrepreneurs and foreign trade, squandered public banks, delivered national heritage.”

Lula announces that the country will “rebuild” and that it will drive political and economic reconstruction. “Economic growth”, which will be environmentally and socially “sustainable”. He recalls that 33 million people are currently suffering from hunger in Brazil, and in conclusion he has commissioned a new Family Exchange program. "It wouldn't be fair to ask the hungry for patience."

He also said that he wants to turn Brazil into “environmental power”: “No one has the same conditions as Brazil to become an environmental power: we will begin the ecological and energy transition. Our goal is not to take off greenhouse gases and completely stop deforestation in the Amazon. We will live without cutting any tree.”

Difficult governance

Lula will not be easy to deliver. On the one hand, the right and the extreme right prevail in the Brazilian Congress. On the other hand, its electoral and government alliances also include the central and right sectors and people, such as the climate change deniers or neoliberals.
