EU piles pressure on Brazil over Amazon fires

DUBLIN/BRUSSELS - The European Union piled pressure on Friday on Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro over fires raging in the Amazon basin, with Ireland and France saying they could block a trade deal with South America.

Environmentalists have blamed deforestation for an increase in fires and accuse the right-wing president of relaxing protection of a vast carbon trap and climate driver that is crucial to combating global climate change. Varadkar said he was very concerned at the record levels of rainforest destruction, and that the Irish government would closely monitor Brazil’s environmental actions in the two years until the Mercosur deal was ratified.

But the EU executive, the European Commission, warned against burying the deal, saying it could help to put pressure on Brazil. Finland, which currently holds the EU’s rotating presidency, suggested a ban on Brazilian beef imports. Prime Minister Antti Rinne said the fires were “a threat to our whole planet, not just to Brazil or South America”.“We must find out whether the Europeans have something to offer Brazil to help prevent this kind of fires in the future,” he added.

There is nothing unusual about the number of fires in the Amazon region this year. They are at about average in number for this date. This is an issue being created by the media to turn public opinion against a leader that defeated a leftist. Half the fires this year as in 2016
