Brazilian President demands apology from French President before he will accept aid

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said Tuesday that he will accept the offer of international aid to help fight the fires raging across the Amazon rainforest, but that French President Emmanuel Macron must first apologize to him.

Bolsonaro appeared offended by Macron’s comments related to his handling of the unfolding crisis in the Amazon, and wanted them retracted.

“And then we can speak,” he said, according to The Associated Press.

The Brazilian leader’s demand for an apology follows Macron lashing out after a Bolsonaro supporter mocked Macron’s wife, Brigitte, in a Facebook post, comparing her to Bolsonaro’s wife, Michelle, and suggesting Macron was jealous.

I'm not entirely clear on what happened here, other than what's in this article. But the way it reads, it appears that Bolsonaro insulted Macron's wife, and now Bolsonaro believes he was the insulted party and is refusing to accept French aid until Macron apologizes?

This sounds like the plot of some cheesy comedy.

“He said very disrespectful things about my wife. I have great respect for the Brazilian people and can only hope they soon have a president who is up to the job,” Macron said.

Macron did not immediately respond to Bolsonaro’s conditions for accepting the money, worth roughly $20 million and pledged Monday during the G-7 summit in France. In addition, Britain said it would donate $12 million and Canada another $11 million as part of the effort.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday defended Bolsonaro’s efforts and tweeted that he has the backing of the United States. Bolsonaro “is working very hard on the Amazon fires and in all respects doing a great job for the people of Brazil – Not easy,” Trump wrote Tuesday.

Except it has more serious implications than getting a 30% on Rotten Tomatoes.

They can do a "pass-through" and use another country to get the aid there.

"Bozo" is a superb, natural talent at bad comedy.

No one should take him seriously.

Btw...Bolsonaro didn't insult Brigitte Macron...he just retweeted a photo showing the difference between Macron's wife and his. Period.

Btw...is this picture offensive? No. Macron's response was offensive....and let's not forget that we are speaking of a teacher who seduced a student.

Omg....why?
Because he's a horrible excuse for a human being. He uses violent rhetoric, and is virilently misogynist, homophobic, opposed to secularism, praises brutal dictatorships and supports the destruction of the Amazon rainforest and the indigenous people. Not as bad as Duterte, but then Duterte is an admitted murderer so it's hard to get much worse than him. He even looks like a rotting corpse, so I guess the inside matches the outside there.

But you can decide for yourself. Have a look at the political views" section: Jair Bolsonaro - Wikipedia

I dislike anti-socialists a priori and he's one...( and he even has an Italian surname...lol)...
But maybe he has ideated some economic programs which will be useful for Brazil.

That said, Macron's attitude is Napoleon-like and in this case, he is at fault

From what I've read, Bolsonaro is the one at fault there. Apparently he or his supporters insulted Macron's wife and now he feels insulted for some reason???

I don't know. I can't read Portuguese (pork 'n' cheese, lol). I have to read more to learn the background of it. I don't know anything about a teacher who seduced a student. Brazilian politics aren't really paid any more attention here than any other third world country.

Personally, I don't care for Macron, either. I wanted Le Pen to win.
