The former minister also said that Trump’s influence on Bolsonaro only partially works, as the President of the United States has already reversed some actions on the coronavirus.
“Unfortunately, he is one of the few world leaders who continues this position that the economy should return at any cost and that the loss of jobs will be worse and that people should worry about how to keep the economy active,” Mandetta said in the conversation. with journalist Christiane Amanpour. “Therefore, it is very difficult to tell people that we must let the disease take its natural course and not expose ourselves. Trump at least returned,” he concluded.
Mandetta was the Minister of Health in Jair Bolsonaro’s government, but different opinions on how to handle the coronavirus crisis turned into confrontations until in April he was fired by the president and replaced by Nelson Teich.
