what assessment for Jair Bolsonaro?

His escapades have gone around the world. In Brazil, President Jair Bolsonaro is a divisive politician. “I am very moved when I talk about our president, for all he has done for us, for this beautiful and wonderful Brazil, which will continue to improve“, says Sandra Regina, saleswoman. “It is very important that Jair Bolsonaro is beaten this time around, especially because of the cuts he has made in education“, says on the contrary Sarah Edni, student.

After four years of an ultra-liberal far-right presidency, the figures are alarming: the poverty rate has jumped and hunger has increased by 73% since 2020. The environmental record of this assumed climate-skeptic is considered disastrous by environmentalists, to the point of being nicknamed “chainsaw captain” by his detractors. “It is wrong to say that the Amazon belongs to the heritage of humanity, it is a false idea of ​​scientists to say that the Amazon forests are the lungs“, he said for example. Under his mandate, deforestation has increased by 75%. His management of the Covid is also subject to violent criticism. And for good reason: 686,000 Brazilians have died from the virus.
