Brazil independence day: Embalmed heart of Portuguese "liberator" king presented to Bolsonaro
The embalmed heart of the Portuguese king who declared the independence of Brazil from Portugal 200 years ago was received with the military honours of a head of state in Brasilia on Tuesday at the start of the bicentenary celebrations.
Dom Pedro I declared Brazilian independence in 1822 and was crowned "emperor" of Brazil after his father King Joao VI returned to Portugal following the restoration of European monarchies after the defeat of Napoleon.
"Two countries, united by history, linked by a heart. 200 years of independence. Ahead, an eternity in freedom. God, homeland, family!" Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said in a brief speech.
Critics of Bolsonaro, who is seeking re-election in October, said he is using the relic to boost his political movement around Independence Day when he plans to hold election rallies.
