47 – Bolsonaro once again minimized the enormous number of fires that destroy Pantanal, Amazonas, Cerrado and Mata Atlântica. He justified the “phenomenon” by falsifying data from last year: “last year, it hardly caught fire, there was a huge mass of vegetables good for what is happening now.”

The report from the Uol portal highlights that “Jair Bolsonaro (without a party) said that there is“ disproportionate criticism ”when speaking to supporters about the burning in the Pantanal and the Amazon. As he did last year, the representative cited forest fires in other countries and regions as examples. “(There is) disproportionate criticism of the Amazon and the Pantanal. California is burning, Africa has more focus than Brazil,” he compared when arriving today at the Palácio da Alvorada.

The article also reports: “on the cause of the fires, the president repeated the argument already used that fire is generated mainly by natural causes. “It catches fire, doesn’t it? The Indian sets himself on fire, the caboclo, has spontaneous generation. In the Amazon, in the Pantanal, the average temperature is 43 degrees. Last year there was hardly any fire, there was a huge mass of good vegetables left for that. what is happening now, “said the president in a conversation with supporters.
