Jair Bolsonaro teases against Brigitte Macron | M …

In a new chapter of the conflict triggered between Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and his French duo Emmanuel Macron, the leaders have now overtaken the offensive remarks of Bolsonaro with regard to the first French lady. The President of Brazil approved Sunday a misogynistic comment on Facebook to Brigitte Macron after the question he had with France about fires in the Amazon.

A user had drawn a parallel with a meme between the wife of Macron and the young woman of Bolsonaro. "Do you now understand why Macron attacks Bolsonaro?", Reads next to the pictures that the leaders show to their wives, as it was only objects of the men's exhibition . Far from condemning him, Bolsonaro reinforced the attack with more machismo: "Do not humiliate the man, ha ha."

From Biarritz, where is taking place the G7 with the axis of fires ravaging the Brazilian Amazon, Macron denounced the fact that Bolsonaro had "extremely disrespectful comments "about his wife.

"What can I tell them? It's sad, it's sad, but it's sad for him and the Brazilians," he said. "As a friendship and respect for the Brazilian people, I hope that its president will behave quickly "added the French president.

The Amazon crisis
It has set fire to Franco-Brazilian relations already strained since the arrival of Bolsonaro at Plbadto Palace early in the year, for its opposing positions on environmental preservation and climate change . In July, the Brazilian president canceled a meeting with French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian and went on to cut his hair, according to a video posted on Facebook. Bolsonaro was upset because Le Drian had met environmental NGOs criticizing the Brazilian president.

The situation worsened even more when Macron claimed to include the Amazonian situation on the G7 agenda and accused Bolsonaro of failing to meet its international commitments to preserve the world's largest rainforest. At that time, Bolsonaro questioned the French president about his "colonialist mentality".

The attacks on Macron have also been reproduced in the environment of the president of the far right. His Minister of Education, Abraham Weintraub, went further: "Macron is not up to this debate, it's just an opportunistic moron seeking support from the French agricultural lobby," he said. The Bolsonaro government official interviewed wrote about the opposition of the French leader to the free trade agreement between the European Union and Mercosur.

In the midst of a wave of tweets, the minister added, "They have chosen a characterless president.You must tackle this jerk of Macron."

Eduardo Bolsonaro, the president's son, retweeted Friday a video showing the violent demonstrations of the movement of the yellow vest in France with the title: "Macron is an idiot."
