“If We Don’t Sell Meat to the World, Brazil Will Also Break Down”, Says Bolsonaro
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – President Jair Bolsonaro once again tried to circumvent criticism of the high price of beef in Brazil.
Bolsonaro said on Monday, December 16th, that the country “will break down” if it does not sell the product “to the world”.
The statement was made to supporters in front of the Alvorada Palace.
The president also reiterated that the regulatory bodies have autonomy “for better or for worse”.
“There are bodies that interfere a little. I am not complaining. It’s the rule of the game,” Bolsonaro said.
The president said the government’s role in reacting to bodies that “get in the way” is to appoint new directors at the end of their current terms.
“I didn’t criticize the bodies. I said they have autonomy,” the president said.
