President Jair Bolsonaro will not attend the G20 summit scheduled for next week in Indonesia. It’s an unprecedented gesture among Brazilian presidents and marks the melancholy end of their government.

The meeting’s agenda includes some major international themes, in a group considered to be the planet’s guide.

In addition to Bolsonaro, the only confirmed absence is that of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who will be the target of severe restrictions if he chooses to go to Bali. There is also the possibility that Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador will not attend.

No photo. There is such a gap in the international community that the traditional “family photo” will not be made this year.

Presidents of Western countries have warned that if any Russian representatives are in Bali, they will not stand in line for the photo. Representing him in Putin’s absence will be Chancellor Sergey Lavrov, who insists he go and wants to be featured in a final official photo.

Who will represent the Brazilian government? In the case of Brazil, the presence of Chancellor Carlos França was confirmed. Senior commanders of national diplomacy reported the situation. UOL News That Bolsonaro will not go. Although some prominent voices among his aides tried to convince him of the importance of the presidency’s institutional involvement. However, Bolsonaro chose to leave.

What does Bolsonaro’s absence represent? Foreign diplomats confirming his decision not to travel point out that the absence reinforces Bolsonaro’s international apathy and will be a “hybrid” for a government in the world that outshines Brazil.

His absence, even within Itamaraty, is a sign that he doesn’t understand the position he assumed in 2019, and that the presence of a Brazilian president at the top has nothing to do with the outcome of the election.

For foreign diplomats, Bolsonaro’s absence is a mixture of relief and “pity” in the face of the collapse of foreign policy in a country that serves as a reference to the world.

Already in 2021, at the G20 summit in Rome, Bolsonaro experienced a state of international pariah with a completely empty agenda ignored by other leaders. More recently, his visit to the United Nations General Assembly in New York was marked by the absence of high-level meetings, and he even missed a meeting with the party’s secretary-general, Antonio Guterres.

Other absences. Bolsonaro has not yet confirmed his participation in the Mercosur Summit, which is scheduled for three weeks in Uruguay. The bloc has never been a priority, and Brazil’s political absence over the past four years has weakened integration projects.

There was still no response to Qatar’s invitation to invite the President of Brazil to the World Cup at the end of the month. It is a tradition that the head of state of the country that reaches the final is in the game. In Bolsonaro’s case, this final would have been held a few days before the end of his term.

The sabbath at the UN next Monday, scheduled for months to discuss human rights policies with the government of Jair Bolsonaro, will turn into an avalanche of accusations against the administration that came to power in 2019 and came to power in 2019. in four years, he liquidated a significant part of the structures that defended fundamental rights in the country.

For Brazilian diplomats, the end of Bolsonaro’s government is followed abroad with a sense of relief and vengeance. But above all, with the perception that the international community misses Brazil.
