Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro felt the effects of severe forest fires in Brazil as he approached the city of Sinop in Mato Grosso state. “When the plane started to land today, he stepped on the gas and got back up. It was the second time in my life that this happened, once before in Rio de Janeiro, ”Bolsonaro said after landing on Brazilian television on Friday after landing on the second attempt. “Obviously something unusual happens then, in this case the view was not very good.”
In the Pantanal, one of the largest inland wetlands in the world, the worst fires since records began in 1999 are currently occurring with more than 15,800 fires. About 20 percent of the 150,000 square kilometer natural paradise in Mato Grosso and Mato Grosse do Sul was destroyed. The clouds of smoke have already reached areas thousands of kilometers away, such as the metropolis of São Paulo. Meteorologists predicted black rain, but Bolsonaro was not on the path for the fires in Mato Grosso, which is characterized by agriculture, but among other things to inaugurate an ethanol factory, meet agricultural producers and grant property titles. Regarding the fires, Bolsonaro limited himself to saying: “We see fire outbreaks throughout Brazil, this has been happening for years.” He rejected foreign criticism of his government’s environmental policy, saying that the competition was interested in attacking the best that Brazil had: the agricultural business.
