The government of Jair Bolsonaro has lifted this Friday the measure prohibiting the entry into Brazil of the president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, which opens the door to his attendance on Sunday at the inauguration of the new Brazilian president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
The measure appears in the Official Journal of the Union, signed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Carlos França, and by the Minister of Justice, Antonio Ramirez Lorenzo. In addition to Maduro, it affects other high-ranking Chavista officials also vetoed for years by Bolsonaro’s Executive, according to ‘O Globo’.
The outgoing president of Brazil recognizes opposition leader Juan Guaidó as the legitimate president of Venezuela, but his successor had already made it clear that he would open a new chapter in relations with Caracas, which will foreseeably result in the short term in the appointment of a new ambassador.
In fact, Maduro already went ahead a few days ago by appointing a new ambassador in Brasilia, in an attempt to resume relations similar to that already undertaken by Venezuela earlier this year with the coming to power of Gustavo Petro in Colombia.
