The reasons for the swearing war between the Brazilian and French heads of state
4hw.com.cn: since Brazilian president bosonaro took office, the relationship between Brazil and France has been going downhill. When the fire broke out in the Amazon rainforest, French President macron had a "curse war" with bosonaro because he was concerned about the rainforest fire. At present, the "curse war" between the two heads of state has been upgraded to personal attack.
On August 27, bosonaro forwarded a news, which showed that macron said the debate on the international status of Amazon was' open '. Bosonaro said he would meet with the governor of the Amazon region today and broadcast it live. " I'll open this black box. " On the same day, bosonaro said that Brazil could accept G7 assistance if macron withdrew his humiliating remarks.
In the past week, makron and bosonaro have been in constant conflict around the Amazon fire. Brazil's' UOL 'website reported on August 27 that the' curse war 'between the two began on August 22. Macron expressed concern about the Amazon fire on social media, saying it was an international crisis that needed to be discussed at the G7 summit. Bosonaro responded that the French President proposed to discuss the Amazon issue without the participation of Brazil, exposing his "colonial mentality". Subsequently, macron said bosonaro lied and threatened to veto the free trade agreement between the EU and Mercosur, and once again said that 'the Amazon is our common property'. Bosonaro ridiculed macron for using the wrong picture of the fire and reiterated Brazil's sovereignty.
Their contradiction escalated again a few days later. CNN reported on August 26 that bosonaro recently commented on a sarcastic picture involving macron and his wife on social media, which triggered macron's strong dissatisfaction. The photo attached to this tweet compares macron's wife with bosonaro's wife, suggesting that macron squeezed bosonaro because he was jealous that bosonaro's wife was more beautiful. Bosonaro commented in his tweet: 'don't insult people, ha ha ha ha.' A day later, macron responded: "Brazilian women may be ashamed of their president. Out of my friendship and respect for the Brazilian people, I hope they will soon have a decent head of state." Afterwards, bosonaro said that Brazil could not accept macron's "crazy and random" attack. Macron claimed to "save" the Amazon, as if we were a colony or uninhabited land.
On August 26, macron announced that the group of seven (G7) was willing to provide 20 million euros of emergency assistance to deal with the fire in the Amazon region. Macron said the funds would be 'immediately' in place, mainly for sending more fire-fighting aircraft. Lorenzoni, chief of staff of Brazilian president bosonaro, immediately said that the Brazilian government had refused this assistance. " We appreciate this proposal, but the money may be better used to rebuild Europe's forests. Macron could not even avoid a predictable fire in the church listed as a world heritage site, and tried to educate us. He has enough to worry about in France and the colonies, including French Guiana, which borders Brazil. " Bosonaro accused macron of launching unreasonable and unprovoked attacks on the Amazon region and hiding his intention in the "alliance" of G7 countries. Bosonaro said Brazil's sovereignty should be respected.
Relations between Brazil and France have deteriorated sharply since bosonaro was elected. Last month, bosonaro cancelled his meeting with the French Foreign Minister to have a haircut and broadcast it live on Facebook. French Foreign Minister Le derion met with non-profit organizations critical of bosonaro, which angered bosonaro. Last week, bosonaro accused non-profit organizations of deliberately setting fire to the Amazon rainforest after funds were cut.
