Question and answer on the Amazon between Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro and Leonardo DiCaprio. The American actor, environmentalist, who has long been at the forefront of protecting the planet and in particular the forest, tweeted in which he invited young people to go and vote in the next elections in Brazil (to be held on October 2) thinking to the future of the Earth. «Brazil is home to the Amazon and other ecosystems critical to climate change. What happens there is important to all of us and the youth vote is essential to drive change for a healthy planet, ”DiCaprio wrote on Twitter yesterday. The star’s appeal does not contain explicit references to Bolsonaro, but the Brazilian president has often been criticized for his policies to cut environmental protection.
Bolsaro replied sarcastically to the actor on social media: «Thanks for your support, Leo! It is really important that all Brazilians vote in the next elections. Our people will decide whether they want to maintain our sovereignty over the Amazon or be ruled by swindlers who serve foreign special interests. “
The Brazilian leader then corrected DiCaprio on a previous tweet: “Anyway, the photo you posted to talk about the fires in the Amazon in 2019 is from 2003. There are people who would like to arrest Brazilian citizens who make this kind of mistake, here in ours. Village. But I am against this tyrannical idea. So I forgive you. A hug from Brazil! ».
