A poster with photos of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Bolsonaro, bearing the words "Not welcome," emerged among the usual demonstrations preceding the International Forum. This will be Bolsonaro's first international trip as president-elect.
The report from the UO portalL highlights the president's departure: "the President Jair Bolsonaro (PSL) embarked this Sunday (20) at the Brasília air base bound for the World Economic Forum meeting in the Swiss city of Davos. This will be the first international trip after the president took office. The World Economic Forum brings together business leaders and leaders from the world's major economies."
According to the article, "Bolsonaro departed on a Brazilian Air Force flight accompanied by ministers Paulo Guedes (Economy), Ernesto Araújo (Foreign Affairs), Augusto Heleno (Institutional Security Office), Sergio Moro (Justice), and Gustavo Bebianno (General Secretariat of the Presidency)." The boarding took place around 22 PM at the Brasília air base. In a symbolic ceremony, Bolsonaro passed the Presidency to Vice President Antônio Hamilton Mourão (PRTB). He will become acting president when the FAB aircraft leaves Brazilian airspace in the coming hours.
