Datena says live on air that "if I were the president, I'd kick Mandetta out."

Forum Magazine - Presenter José Luiz Datena used his program on Band, Brasil Urgente, this Monday (13), to fire at the Minister of Health, Luiz Henrique Mandetta.

A Bolsonaro supporter, Datena did not like the criticism made by Mandetta to Bolsonaro in an interview with Fantástico, on Globo, broadcast on Sunday (12).

"Do you think that with his personality he wouldn't have already kicked Mandetta out? If Mandetta doesn't kick him in the shins, he'll stay. But even if he kicks the president in the shins, I doubt he'll take any action now. If I were president, I'd kick him out. But I'm not president precisely because I don't have the composure for a moment like this," the presenter declared live, shortly after interviewing the Minister of Justice, Sérgio Moro, by phone. 

In the interview, Moro defended Jair Bolsonaro.This opposes social isolation, the main recommendation of the World Health Organization (WHO) against the coronavirus. The president's stance conflicts with that of Mandetta, who has advocated social isolation and, due to his position being out of sync with that of his boss, almost ended up being fired. 

Reviews on Fantástico 

Mandetta stated this Sunday (12), in an interview with the program Fantástico, who is concerned about the conflicting messages in the leadership of the fight against the coronavirus, in a direct attack on President Jair Bolsonaro.

"I expect a single message, a unified message. Because this creates ambiguity for Brazilians. They don't know whether to listen to the Minister of Health, whether to listen to the President, who should they listen to?" he said. 

Mandetta also admitted that the relationship with the president is "worrying" and believes that "the government is very focused on the economy." "The Ministry of Health understands the economy, but prioritizes the protection of life," he said.
