The government of Brazil, under the leadership of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has decided to participate in the inauguration ceremony of the re-elected president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, scheduled for January 10, 2025.

The confirmation was made by sources from the Itamaraty Palace, who announced that the Brazilian diplomat in Caracas, Gilvania de Oliveira, will represent the country at this important event.

This gesture from Brazil complements the announcement made by the new Mexican president, Claudia Sheinbaum, who has also expressed her intention to attend the ceremony in Caracas.

However, it has not yet been determined whether an official mission will be sent from Mexico or whether the ambassador to Venezuela will act as a representative.

The Brazilian government’s decision comes in a context where social movements in the country have expressed their support for Maduro.

In a letter to Lula, these groups formally requested recognition of the electoral victory of the Venezuelan president, who obtained 51.20% of the vote in the elections held on July 28, 2024.

The presence of Brazil and Mexico at the inauguration symbolizes a rapprochement and support for the Maduro administration at a crucial moment for Venezuelan politics, highlighting the importance of diplomatic relations in the region.

This event could also be seen as a step towards consolidating cooperation between the progressive governments of Latin America.
