Brazil's outgoing President Jair Bolsonaro landed in Florida on Friday after delivering an emotional speech to his supporters. However, Bolsonaro made an early exit as his tenure will end when his leftist rival, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, will assume office. Although Bolsonaro's stay is not yet confirmed, the security staff was already present on his arrival. With two days left in Lula's oath ceremony, Bolsonaro might face charges for breaking Brazil's democratic tradition. His presidential plane departed from Brazil at 2 PM.
This week on Hold Your Fire!, Richard Atwood speaks with Ivan Briscoe and Renata Segura, Crisis Group’s Latin America director and deputy director, about President Lula’s election win in Brazil and whether a new group of leftist leaders across Latin America can help end some of the continent’s crises, notably in Venezuela and Haiti.
