In addition to renowned or rising artists, presentations by popular culture groups are scheduled, including maracatus, violeiros, fanfares, frevo and carnival blocks, among others. During his inauguration in the National Congress, Lula made a speech during the formal session, in which he highlighted aspects such as the fight against hunger, zero deforestation, reconstruction and democracy. Afterwards Lula went up the presidential ramp and received the presidential sash and gave a new speech to the thousands of people gathered at the Esplanada dos Ministérios. After the sash ceremony, the president and his vice president went to Itamaraty to receive greetings from heads of state and representatives of other countries, and then swore in his ministers.
