By CARLA BRIDI and DIANE JEANTET
SAO PAULO (AP) The office of Brazils vice president says he has become acting president, an indication that President Jair Bolsonaro has left the country and will break tradition by skipping the inauguration Sunday of his political nemesis, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
The press office of Bolsonaros vice president, Gen. Hamilton Mourão, confirmed to journalists he was acting as president. The handoff of power to the vice president occurs whenever Brazils president travels abroad.
The Friday edition of the official gazette said that Bolsonaro is headed to Florida, and that several officials were given permission to accompany the future ex-president to Miami between Jan. 1 and Jan. 30, to offer advice, security and personal support.
According to flight tracking websites, the Brazilian militarys official airplane left the capital, Brasilia, around 2 p.m. for Orlando.
