Brazil’s acting president, Jair Bolsonaro, will deliver his last message to the nation on Wednesday, as he will travel to the United States to spend the end of the year and will not participate in the inauguration of president-elect Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Bolsonaro, who will step down as president on December 31, has indicated that he plans to leave Brazil this Friday for Orlando without the first lady, Michelle Bolsonaro, according to Brazilian media.
The still president would travel accompanied by several presidential advisors, who have been appointed as Bolsonaro’s employees when his term ends, as UOL media has learned.
According to this decision, there will be no traditional act of passing the sash of the previous president to the person who assumes the Presidency, in this case Lula da Silva, who will accept the office in the afternoon of next Sunday, January 1.
In his last speech as leader, Bolsonaro will thank the 58 million votes he obtained in the second electoral round where he lost to the leader of the Workers’ Party, and will announce that from 2023 he will work in the opposition of Lula’s government.
