Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro tried to line up an official photo of Argentina’s new president, Javier Miley, with other heads of state invited to his inauguration on Sunday, but was thwarted by other Latin American leaders in attendance who refused to be photographed with him. and threatened that he would not be in the photo if he was not taken.
According to journalists present, Bolsonaro gradually approached, smiling and waving to the audience like a star, and suddenly found himself among the heads of state appearing in the photo.
Miley, who suggested Bolsonaro should irritate Lula da Silva, whom he called a “communist” and a “thief” during the election campaign, did not object, but the presidents of Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile and Ecuador were outraged. At first they themselves tried to convince Bolsonaro to step aside, but the former president pretended not to understand, and in the end they had to resort to protocol, making it clear that they would not participate in the official photo if Bolsonaro was in it. . Only then did Milei’s team decide to act and remove Bolsonaro, which was a huge embarrassment for the former Brazilian president.
