This article aims to describe and analyze the inauguration ceremony of President Jair Bolsonaro, focusing on the values celebrated in his speech. To understand the uniqueness of this event, we will make a
contrast comparison between Bolsonaro’s inauguration speech and the inauguration speeches of Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff. Our interpretive bet is that the arrival of a
candidate from the extreme right to the Palácio do Planalto represented both discontinuities and continuities in relation to his predecessors. In the first case, Bolsonaro’s investiture speech expresses the permanence of dissidence and the electoral conflict, revealing exclusionary values and the absence of the central category of human rights in the other
presidential speeches addressed. Regarding continuity, it seems to us
that the idea-value of Bolsonarism reveals the way in which citizenship has been constructed in Brazil, that is, rights are not perceived as universal, but rather as “privileges.”
