Lula sworn in as Brazilian president while predecessor Bolsonaro flies to the US

But diversity and inclusion also played a major role at today’s inauguration. After Mr Bolsonaro gave up his last official duty of handing over the President’s sash, it was left to Eni Souza, a garbage collector, to do the honors. And standing next to Lula was an indigenous leader, a black boy and a disabled influencer. In this often racist country, it was an important image that will endure.
