Brasília:  Brazil's incoming far-right president Jair Bolsonaro, criticized by detractors for numerous homophobic, racist and misogynist remarks, vowed Monday to govern "without distinction of social origin, race, sex, age or religion."

The former army captain and veteran lawmaker, who easily won November elections to rule Latin America's biggest country, made the pledge in a ceremony in Brazil's electoral tribunal ahead of his taking office on January 1.
