RIO DE JANEIRO/SAO PAULO - Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro on Wednesday said some governors and mayors were guilty of crimes for organizing coronavirus shutdowns that threaten to “destroy” Brazil’s economy, and urged businesses to re-open to survive the crisis.
Both Trump and Bolsonaro have staked their presidencies on the economy, and both know any major downturn could be catastrophic for their chances of re-election. Bolsonaro’s new pro-business position solidified in a widely criticized address to the nation on Tuesday in which he minimized the likely impact of the “little flu” in Brazil, and urged mayors and state governors to roll back lockdown measures that have brought Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo to near standstills.
“What some governors and some mayors in Brazil are doing is a crime. They are destroying Brazil,” Bolsonaro said.
