Venezuela’s dictator, Nicolás Maduro, is not going to attend the inauguration of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT). The ceremony will happen on Jan. 1, 2023.
The Workers’ Party’s objective was to make sure that South American heads of state could be on the inauguration as an emblem of the return of the left to the area.
The impediment to Maduro’s coming is a choice made by President Jair Bolsonaro (PL), who prevented the Chavista and his aides from setting foot on Brazilian territory.
For the Venezuelan dictator to be in Brasilia on Jan. 1, a brand new determination must be issued by the Planalto Palace that very same day. This makes the operation virtually unattainable.
Approximately 30 presidents and heads of presidency have already confirmed their presence on the ceremony.
From Europe, the king of Spain, Felipe VI, and the presidents of Portugal and Germany, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa and Frank-Walter Steinmeier are confirmed.
The United States has designated Deb Haaland, Secretary of the United States Department of the Interior, as head of the mission.
The American delegation consists of the Chargé d’Affaires of the US Embassy in Brasilia, Douglas Koneff, and the Special Assistant to President Joe Biden, Juan Gonzalez.
According to the transition group, new names must be confirmed at Lula da Silva’s inauguration.
The international presence additionally consists of African, Asian, and Middle Eastern politicians.
