Bolsonaro lies at the UN General Assembly

President Jair Bolsonaro lied again at the UN General Assembly about the Brazilian socio-environmental policy and the reality of his administration. He was also the only G20 leader without the proper immunization.

At the meeting, which took place in New York (USA), Bolsonaro presented an unrealistic scenario. According to a fact-checking by Fakebook.eco, the president said he had doubled the resources allocated to federal environmental protection agencies, defended Brazilian agribusiness with false data and lied about the conservation of the Amazon.

While the president was speaking at the UN, an expedition of the Amazon on Fire Alliance, formed by the organizations Amazon Watch, Greenpeace Brazil, and Climate Observatory, recorded the destruction of the Amazon region with flights over areas affected by fire and illegal gold digging.
