The destruction of the environment notes “one of the main objectives” to be the new government of President Jair Bolsonaro. “There are people who speak with arrogance and cruelty and act, the laughing, when a seven-year-old child dies (meaning the death of the grandson of Ex-President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, the extreme right-with malice commented. You celebrate when the police are perpetrated in the Slums massacre, when environmental activists or black members of the Council to be killed.”

The angry response from Minister Ricardo Salles consisted of a Tweet in which he wrote, the light of Beck’s description of Brazil “is more similar to what Germany did to Jewish children and the tens of millions, the torture camps in their concentration and were killed”.

The answer of the Minister of Salles
At the request of the DW Salles, it was “unacceptable”, said that a publicly owned media company publishing content tailored to be so “unnecessary”, “aggressive” and “offensive”. The comment was “not a criticism of environmental policy,” he added. “It is simply an insult, criticize the Brazilian government as a whole in such a manner; there is no environmental is political criticism,” said Salles to the DW.
Light Beck: Brazil was able to distance himself never of the dictatorship.
To said the controversy over his column, Phillip light, Beck, the Minister had failed in his criticism of “environmental policy”, and instead prefer to talk about the German past spoken. “Nazism was defeated more than 70 years ago”, said the Journalist of the DW. “Today, a tendency prevails in Germany, anti-warn-democratic Regimes that violate human rights, nationalism, preaching, and the enemy build. Brazil has made it to the other side, never to distance himself from his military dictatorship,” the light of Beck. “I’m accused of, Brazil in a negative way to portray that when I write about the drastic steps backwards in environmental policy, in the opinion of many experts, the real.”
