Brazilian leftist Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was inaugurated as president Sunday after outgoing Jair Bolsonaro reportedly fled to the United States and is seeking refuge in Orlando.
In a speech to Brazil’s Congress Sunday, Lula went after the outgoing president of Latin America’s largest country, accusing Bolsonaro of wielding anti-democratic threats following the most fraught election in a generation and promising to hold members of his administration to account.

"We do not carry any spirit of revenge against those who tried to subjugate the nation to their personal and ideological designs, but we will guarantee the rule of law," Lula said, according to Reuters, without mentioning Bolsonaro by name. "Those who erred will answer for their errors."
