– I am sorry that President Macron wants to make the internal issue of Brazil and other Amazonian countries important for personal political gain. The sensationalist tone with which he refers to Amazon (even appealing to fake photos) does nothing to solve the problem.

Ha ha ha ha”. The comparison made reference to the ages of the two wives and suggested that Bolsonaro would have had an advantage as he was younger. In response, Macron called Bolsonaro “extremely disrespectful” and said he felt sorry for the Brazilians.

“We ask all Brazilians to be more and more aware of who this country is, this wonder is called Brazil. A unique country in the world, which has everything it takes to succeed and we need to rebuild it. Each of you is needed. And freedom comes first. (…) Our Brazil, green and yellow”, he highlighted.
