Bolsonaro declared present at the investiture of Lasso …

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro participated in the inauguration of Ecuadorian President Guillermo Lasso, with whom he hopes to work together “for the freedom” of the region. After the inauguration of the Banker of Guayaquil, Bolsonaro appeared on a balcony of the Carondelet Palace in Quito, from where he greeted a group of supporters of the new Ecuadorian president.

The Brazilian president left for the capital of Ecuador on Sunday afternoon after leading a motorbike caravan in Rio de Janeiro., a fact that has caused agglomerations despite the fact that the South American country is going through a rebound in coronavirus cases that raises fears of the arrival of a third wave.

This is the second investiture of a Latin American president in which the leader of the Brazilian far right has participated since coming to power on January 1, 2019. Bolsonaro also attended the inauguration of Uruguayan President Luis Lacalle Pou in March this year.

The reaction of the Brazilian president on the election of Lasso and Lacalle Pou, with whom he has clear ideological affinities, It was very different from the one he had when Alberto Fernández won in Argentina, which Bolsonaro denounced. The president of Brazil refused to congratulate Fernández after his victory and did not attend the inauguration on December 10, 2019.
