247 – “The image of Brazil is destroyed.” This is the warning of the journalist Jamil Chad, who has lived in Geneva, Switzerland for 20 years, and has become an expert on issues related to the United Nations (UN) and Brazilian diplomacy. In an interview with TV 247, he said that “Brazil is no longer the country of dialogue” with the Foreign Ministry in the hands of Jair Bolsonaro and Ernesto Araújo.

“The Bolsonaro government establishes a before and after in foreign policy. Brazil had never declared an alliance with a government, as it did with Trump. Brazil is also emerging from a progressive diplomacy, which sought to expand rights, to a reactionary diplomacy, ”said the journalist.

Chad also affirmed that “the world did not know the absurdities that Bolsonaro was saying.” “The image becomes extremely negative with the Amazon and worsens with the pandemic. Brazil has become a country to avoid,” he added.
