Brazil's president blames Leonardo DiCaprio for 'setting the Amazon on fire'

were arrested in Brazil, accused of starting fires to generate fundraising for an international NGO. But they were later released amid claims the arrests were politically-motivated.But the claims have sparked ridicule, with one opposition congressman tweeting,"Bolsonaro's delirium has no limit".O delírio de Bolsonaro não tem limite. Acusar Leonardo DiCaprio de pagar para"tacarem fogo" na Amazônia é patético.

Some fires were started deliberately, often by farmers clearing land for grazing or crops, and were made significantly worse by deforestation - a phenomenon now at its highest level in a decade.The far-right Mr Bolsonaro has been widely criticised over his support for Amazon deforestation and a delayed reaction to the fires.

Responding to criticism of his policy, Mr Bolsonaro accused France and Germany of attempting to buy Brazil's sovereignty after the G7 group of rich democracies

Who does Bolsonaro think he is TRUMP

Dr Caprio must be a real threat.

The, 'without offering evidence' policy is a dictators way to reach out to the ignorant voters who lack the capacity to understand their own anxieties and anger management.

That’s like blaming the fire chief here for arsonists within the volunteer service.. But it’ll wind up the anti enviro denialists any way.. It suits their “everything’s fine” agenda..

bolsonaro should know its his cabal that's destroying the amazon

This is BULLSHIT. This right-wing practice of attempting to blame those who are fighting for a cause, of doing the very thing those people are fighting against. It's insidious and sickening.

Wait, you need evidence to attribute bushfires to a cause now? I thought you just had to say it over and over and get kids to protest

Without offerring any evidence? So expect corporate media to run this story non-stop then! What a joke. Bolsonaro is pathetic!

Bolsonaro is the elected president of one of the most populous countries in the world, an industrial superpower. Di Caprio is a mere actor repeating someone else’s lines in front of a camera and gets paid well above his contribution. There is no equivalence between them. Dear me.

Article states the news that 4 men from the NGO 'Alter do Chão Fire Brigade' were arrested for starting fires in the Amazon rain forest in September. This NGO received donations from the likes of the WWF and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Good chance he's right!

It's TRUE THREAD
