The Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro, spoke this Thursday that President Gabriel Boric has a “50% rejection” despite the fact that he has not been in government for even 2 months and that this reflected that Chile “is in trouble.”
The president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, criticized Argentina and Chile this Thursday, assuring in the case of our country, that the president Gabriel Boric has a 50% rejection rate despite having only been in power for 2 months, as a way of criticizing on the left.
From Chile, he commented that “he is in trouble” because “the newly elected president, who has not been in power for even two months, is with a 50% rejection,” as he said in reference to Boric.
Bolsonaro, who will seek to renew his mandate in the presidential elections next October, did not attend Fernández’s investiture, in December 2019, or Boric’s, held last March.
When Boric won the elections once morest José Antonio Kast, Bolsonaro then attributed the triumph of the former student leader to the fact that “practically half of the Chilean population” “abstained, did not go to vote.”
The far-right leader also criticized the Argentine government, led by Alberto Fernández.
“In Argentina, our beloved Argentina, a new tax on unexpected profits is created. I don’t know what that is, but Argentina, unfortunately, is going downhill.”affirmed the Brazilian head of state.
Bolsonaro also mentioned another article that highlighted the spike in meat prices during the Fernández government, a phenomenon that has also occurred in Brazil and has been aggravated this year, amid global inflationary pressures.
“Argentina is a producer and exporter of meat” and “increased three times the price of meat in two years,” he said.
“In Brazil did it increase? It increased, but it wasn’t all that, it’s well below that,” the retired Army captain completed.
Bolsonaro will try to be re-elected in the elections on October 2, although the polls published to date distance him from that possibility.
So far, all the polls give victory to the former president and progressive leader Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, with more than 40% of the support, compared to around 30% that Bolsonaro would obtain, who, however, has been closing the distance.
