The former Brazilian governor tried to join the heads of state invited to the inauguration of the new Argentine president and had to be isolated by the protocol services.
Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro tried to join the official photo of the new Argentine President, Javier Miley, with other heads of state invited to attend his inauguration on Sunday, but he was prevented by the other Latin American leaders present, who refused to take pictures with him. He threatened not to appear in the photo if he was not removed.
According to the journalists present, Bolsonaro gradually approached, smiling and waving to the crowd like a star, and suddenly, he was among the heads of state who appeared in the photo.
Miley, who called on Bolsonaro to anger Lula da Silva – whom he called a “communist” and “thief” during the election campaign – did not object, but the presidents of Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile and Ecuador were furious. First, they themselves tried to persuade Bolsonaro to step down, but the former president pretended not to understand, and they ended up resorting to the service of protocol, explaining that they would not participate in the official photo if Bolsonaro was in it. . Only then did Miley’s team decide to act and sack Bolsonaro, a great embarrassment to the former Brazilian president.
