Brazil’s Lula sworn in as president, vows accountability and rebuilding

LA Times  

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, left, and his wife, Rosangela Silva, ride to Congress before their swearing-in Sunday in Brasilia along with Vice President Geraldo Alckmin and his wife, Maria Lucia Ribeiro. Brazil’s Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was sworn in as president on Sunday, and in his first address expressed optimism about plans to rebuild while pledging that members of outgoing President Jair Bolsonaro’s administration will be held to account. “Our message to Brazil is one of hope and reconstruction,” Lula said in a speech in Congress’ Lower House after signing the document that formally instates him as president. Bolsonaro’s most die-hard backers resorted to what some authorities and incoming members of Lula’s administration labeled acts of “terrorism” — something the country had not seen since the early 1980s, and which prompted growing security concerns about inauguration day events. “I trust his intelligence to make this national unity administration work so we never have a Bolsonaro again.” Given the nation’s political fault lines, it is highly unlikely Lula ever reattains the popularity he once enjoyed, or even sees his approval rating rise above 50%, said Maurício Santoro, a political science professor at Rio de Janeiro’s State University.
