Not just lack of preparation, many governors are actively hostile to Lula and conservation efforts, and many farmers are creating more fires to spite Lula and “support” Bolsonaro.
I was about to ask that… it makes it sound like Lula and the governors are all on the same page and I had my doubts. Thanks for confirming them.
I can’t exactly say for the other states, but for mine (Santa Catarina), the governor has since the beginning of the mandate avoided any and all meetings with Lula, even finding some bullshit excuse to leave the state when Lula came here for a public works inauguration.
That does not surprise me at all. This is still the nation that elected Balsonaro. I’m sure there are states that are still right-wing in terms of their ruling politicians.
It’s complicated…
My state is one of the most prosperous of the country, and built on numerous social policies, that even the “right-wing” politicians reflect, and mostly voted for Bolsonaro, because Lula represented a continuation of all previous governments that only cared about taking our wealth for nothing in return, or destroying our culture(s), and Bolsonaro was the first to pretend to care.
There’s a lot of historical resentment, many things justified, many exaggerated.
This is for my state, others must have other reasons.
I voted against Bolsonaro because for me it was clear he was just more of the same, just with a façade of change. By me both Lula and Bolsonaro should be cell mates.
But my state of not one of the affected (directly) by the fires.
Me, waking up and having another reason to hate farmers: “Must be a day ending in y”
This is Bolansaro’s fault for allowing the Amazon to be ravaged. It’s amazing how the media constantly gives right wingers a free pass for their incredibly shitty actions.
Bolsonaro has his share of guilt today, but this is a decades old issue, centuries even if extending to the colonial exploitation culture.
I didn’t realize that. It’s frustrating and depressing to watch this happen while hardly anyone is doing anything to remedy the situation.
For too many here “doing anything” “hurts the economy”
