Lula Sworn In As President. by juman(op): 7:47pm On Jan 01, 2023

Lula sworn in as president of divided Brazil amid tight security.

The veteran politician, taking office for an historic third term, faces the challenge of uniting the country polarised under far-right predecessor Jair Bolsonaro.

Brazil's new President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva gestures as he is sworn in at the National Congress, in Brasilia.

Lula was sworn in at the Brazil's Congress in Brasilia.

Leftist leader Luiz Inacio “Lula” da Silva has pledged to “rebuild” Brazil “with the people” as he was sworn in as the new president of the fiercely polarised country for a historic third term.

The inauguration ceremony in Congress began at 3pm (18:00 GMT) on Sunday under tightened security after alleged threats of violence by supporters of his far-right predecessor Jair Bolsonaro.

Lula was later due to go to the Planalto Palace to don the presidential sash before a crowd of 30,000 supporters. Some 300,000 more were expected to gather to celebrate on Brasilia’s esplanade.

Foreign dignitaries, including 17 heads of state, will be in attendance. Among them will be the king of Spain and the presidents of Germany, Portugal, and a raft of Latin American countries.

To God be the glory!

The people won in Zambia.

The people won in Kenya.

The people won in Brazil.

And the people will win in Nigeria, in Jesus name.

Throughout history, the elites have never defeated the people when they say “enough is enough”.
