Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on January 1st, 2023 returned to power in Brazil. Nearly 200,000 people gathered in Brasilia to attend the event organised in honor of the new President, showing their happiness and euphoria around the capital city. After four years of the far-right and ultra conservative government of Jair Bolsonaro, a big part of civil society feels the possibility of a real change in Brazilian environmental and human rights policy.
