BRASILIA — Leftist chief Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was sworn in as president of Brazil on Sunday within the nation’s Congress initially of his third presidency.
The 77-year-old ex-metalworker, who ruled Brazil for 2 phrases from 2003 to 2010, took the oath of workplace earlier than Congress, vowing to “maintain, defend and obey the constitution” as he returns to steer Latin America’s greatest financial system after a bitterly divisive election in October.
He defeated far-right incumbent Jair Bolsonaro in October elections, shifting the South American nation to the left. — Reuters
