Opponents of President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) criticized the president’s speech at the UN General Assembly today, while supporters praised him. On this occasion, the Planalto re-election candidate claimed to stand for freedom of speech, said he denies religious persecution, and cited the campaign slogan of “God, Fatherland, family and freedom.”
Supporters praise Bolsonaro. Flávio Bolsonaro (PL), son of the senator and president, celebrated his father’s participation in the event. “Big day! Bolsonaro delivers the facts to show the world the real Brazil, which is running the opposite of what the militant international media reports.”
“Brazilian agriculture, which Lula calls fascist, Bolsonaro glorifies in his UN speech. That’s the difference,” said Bolsonaro deputy state candidate Carmelo Neto (PL).
Pastor Silas Malafaia stated in Bolsonaro’s speech at the UN that Brazil opened its doors to receive priests and nuns. “They are being persecuted by the Nicaraguan dictator, supported by Lula.”
Earlier this month, Minister Cármen Lúcia of the TSE (Supreme Electoral Court) declared that federal lawmaker Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP) within 24 hours, delete posts on social networks where the congressman associated Lula with Nicaragua and said that the PT supported the church invasions and persecution of Christians.
‘Putin’s doormat,’ says the opposition. Federal lawmaker Joice Hasselmann (PSDB-SP), a former ally of Bolsonaro, recalled that Brazil did not vote in favor of allowing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s statement at the UN. “He sided with Brazil, China, Bangladesh, El Salvador, Burundi, Iran, Iraq, Mongolia, Ubezekistan, Sri Lanka, Namibia. Bolsonaro is Putin’s doormat.”
Bolsonaro saluted women at the UN, saying the government’s enforcement of more than 70 norms against violence since its inception is testament to its commitment to the issue.
Federal lawmaker Sâmia Bomfim (PSOL) criticized the statement and mocked the president’s stance.
“We have the worst budget in history for this field! 90% of the resources have been cut off. That’s why Brazilian women are going to beat this guy. A gentleman in his early 60s was seen showing mental confusion, diction and an obsession with lying. Now at the UN,” he said. .
Federal lawmaker Ivan Valente (PSOL) said Bolsonaro used agribusiness, also mentioned in the UN, not to mention starvation in Brazil. “While I have the courage to say that Brazil is an example of environmental protection, the fire is breaking records,” he added. The parliamentarian also described the speech as a “global embarrassment”.
The NGO opposes Bolsonaro and recalls attacks on journalists and refers to ‘lie’ about Amazon. Amnesty International said Bolsonaro lied when he said he cared about peace and respected differences. “He has encouraged or carried out attacks against journalists, women, activists, dissidents several times in his government… The spread of hate speech and political polarization are also threats to human rights!”
The president said that two-thirds of all Brazilian land remains with native vegetation exactly as Brazil was discovered in 1500, which was denied by the NGO.
“In the Brazilian Amazon, a region equivalent to Western Europe, more than 80% of the forest remains untouched, contrary to reports by national and international media. Their livelihoods depend on the economic use of the forest. More than 11,000 rural schools and more than 500 indigenous communities ” said.
“Once again, Bolsonaro lies about the Amazon: the deforestation of the forest broke records under his administration, and with it the neglect of the state, the violence against indigenous and traditional peoples has increased,” the NGO said.
