Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva took office on Sunday for his third term as Brazil’s president. Lula, a former metalworker, opened his speech during the ceremony by criticizing the work of Bolsonaro, who chose to skip the ceremony and instead flee to Florida: breaking Brazil’s political tradition of handing the yellow-and-green presidential sash to one’s successor which was first established in 1985 following the end of the country’s military dictatorship.According to the Agence France-Presse (AFP) speaking openly about the work of his predecessor, Lula pledged to use his government to undo years of economic decline, funding cuts in health, education and science, and the “stupidity” of using the nation’s resources for private gain.
