Jair Bolsonaro: Brazil's new far-right president urges unity

Brazililian President Jair Bolsonaro has promised to build a “society without discrimination or division”.

The former army captain told Congress during his inaugural speech that he wants a “national pact” to free Brazil of corruption, crime and economic mismanagement.

In a swipe at the left, he vowed to free Brazil of “ideology”.

Among the foreign guests at the inauguration were US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa.
