Macron spoke of the Amazon and Bolsonaro called him a "colonialist" | Chronic

The President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, accused his French couple, Emmanuel Macron, to have a "colonialist mentality that has no place in the 21st century", after the European leader announced that he wanted to discuss fires in the Amazon rainforest at the next G7 summit, this weekend in Biarritz.

In addition, Bolsonaro accused Macron of using fake photos on his social networks to recount his comments on fires in the Amazon rainforest. Macron "evokes the colonialist mentality that has no place in the 21st centuryBolsonaro said on social media, in which he accused the French of interfering in the domestic affairs of Brazil.

"I regret that President Macron is seeking to exploit an internal problem of Brazil and other Amazonian countries in order to obtain personal political income. The sensational tone with which it refers to the Amazon (using false pictures) does not contribute to the solution of the problem"said Bolsonaro.

In a live video on Facebook, a little earlier, Bolsonaro rejected the fact that a European president that he did not identify spoke of the issue "our amazon"."A country had the nerve to say "our Amazon". They are interested in having a space day in our Amazon"he said.

Macron called on his G7 counterparts to tackle the problem of the Amazon because it is, according to him, a "international crisis"Rural producers and a minister have met for fear of trade sanctions from European countries against Brazil because of the reduction in the Bolsonaro government's environmental audit.

Bolsonaro, without evidence, accused nongovernmental organizations of causing fires because his government had blocked budget posts.
