247 - In addition to disregarding health recommendations and exposing Brazilians to the risk of coronavirus infection, Jair Bolsonaro is also sabotaging the work of the Minister of Health, Luiz Henrique Mandetta.
According to the column radar, According to Veja magazine, Bolsonaro felt betrayed when he saw his aide working in partnership with the governor of São Paulo, João Doria, in forming a contingency plan to combat the advance of the coronavirus in the country. "Mandetta, what are you doing there alongside Doria?" Bolsonaro reportedly said to the minister, according to a witness to the altercation.
"Mr. President, as Minister of Health, I am simply fulfilling my obligations," Mandetta reportedly replied to Bolsonaro.
"The boss, blinded by the political struggle, did not accept the explanations. Unable to fire his aide, who was being praised at the time for his work in combating the crisis, the president began to act behind the scenes to undermine the operation set up by his own government," the column says.
