Brazil recognized its new president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, with an elaborate inauguration ceremony on Sunday.
The leftist incumbent snagged the office from the country’s far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro, in a tight runoff election in October. Bolsonaro refused to formally concede the election, and on Sunday he ditched the inauguration for a trip to Orlando, Florida, The New York Times reported.
According to the NYT, Bolsonaro flew there on Friday and plans to stay for at least a month while he faces investigations from his term as president.
