At the end of a hearing on environmental policies, the minister of the STF (Supreme Federal Court), Luís Roberto Barroso, criticized what he called “parallel imaginary reality” when addressing the environmental issue in Brazil and said that the sector needs diagnoses based on acts.
The minister’s statement came this afternoon, hours after the speech (without party) of President Jair Bolsonaro at the UN General Assembly (United Nations), who, with inaccurate data and lies, affirmed that the country is the victim of a Campaign of misinformation about the Amazon and the Pantanal.
“To solve our problems, we need to make correct diagnoses and not create an imaginary parallel reality,” said the minister.
Barroso did not specify what “imaginary reality” he was referring to and did not mention the President of the Republic at any time.
“We try to know the facts and the different perspectives involved in the debate, the world has multiple observation points and the truth has no owner, although deliberate lies do, and one of our efforts here was to identify narratives that are not supported.” in fact, ”Barroso said.
The minister today commanded the second day of public hearings related to the action that accuses the government of having paralyzed the Climate Fund (National Climate Change Fund). Barroso is the speaker of the process, which still has no date to judge.
This morning, Bolsonaro used the international rostrum, in a recorded speech, to defend himself against accusations of not preserving the environment, but his speech used lies and inaccuracies.
At the UN, the president said that the Indians and Caboclos are responsible for the fires in the Amazon and said that the burning in the Pantanal occurs due to the high temperatures in the region.
The president’s speeches were reviewed by UOL Confere, which found inaccurate data and unproven thesis. Bolsonaro’s speech was also poorly received by the diplomatic corps of other countries, who understood the statements as a refusal by the Brazilian president to commit to the environmental challenge and to cooperate with other nations.

There were also criticisms from environmentalists. The former president of Ibama (Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources), Suely Araújo, affirmed that Bolsonaro’s denialist approach is close to the environmental “apology of crime.”
In the STF, the debate on the Climate Fund called by Barroso, heard between yesterday and today, ministers of the Bolsonaro government, environmentalists, scientists and representatives of the productive sector.
At the end of the debates, the minister affirmed that the protection of the environment is an obligation that the Constitution imposes on public officials.
“The constitution establishes that the public power has the duty to defend and preserve the environment for present and future generations and that is why one of our premises is that the protection of the environment is not a political option, it is a constitutional duty”, Barroso said.
