Bolsonaro suggested that DiCaprio had better “keep his mouth shut”

The Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro, assured that it is better that the American actor Leonardo DiCaprio “keep his mouth shut”, referring to the criticism he gave his government for the high rates of deforestation in the Amazon and environmental policy in general .

“DiCaprio is posting photos from 20 years ago; now DiCaprio has to know that the WTO’s president-director herself [la directora general de la Organización Mundial del Comercio, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala] he said that without Brazilian agribusiness the world goes hungry; so it is better that DiCaprio keep his mouth shut instead of saying a lot of nonsense out there, “he assured before a group of supporters, according to the newspaper Correio Braziliense.

Bolsonaro also stated that Brazil’s agricultural sector is “an example to the world” in environmental preservation and that it is useless to make “lying videos that the Amazon is burning, that the climate is going to change”; “That doesn’t work,” he argued.

On April 29, DiCaprio made a post on Twitter asking young Brazilians to regularize their elector title to vote in the next presidential elections, since the future of the Amazon would be at stake, alluding to a possible victory by Bolsonaro. .

On May 2, the actor posted again about the need for young people to vote, and the Brazilian president responded by saying that Brazilians will decide if they want to maintain sovereignty over the Amazon or obey thieves who serve foreign interests.
