Summary/Abstract: Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, twice president of Brazil from 2003 to 2010, took over as the head of state again on 1 January 2023. During the inauguration, he strongly criticised the government of outgoing President Jair Bolsonaro for its authoritarian tendencies, erosion of public policies in education, health, and environmental protection, as well as the marginalisation of Brazil in the world, among other areas. Lula’s government will have to tackle unfavourable economic and social conditions, while lacking a certain majority in the parliament. In foreign policy, it will seek to strengthen Brazil’s international position through his involvement in global climate action, among other means.
