247 - President Michel Temer is on edge. On Friday morning, after a video conference to discuss the damage caused by pests transmitted by the wings of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, Temer found himself bombarded with questions from reporters about the corruption infecting his team.
The journalists wanted to know the president's opinion on the text approved by the Chamber of Deputies containing the anti-corruption measures proposed by the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office. Asked, after speaking about the National Day to Combat Mosquitoes in Brasília, about the anti-corruption package, Temer lost his temper:
"I'm talking about Zika, please," retorted the de facto president, leaving the venue that was supposed to host a press conference, which was obviously canceled after the president's outburst.
In the videoconference, Temer met with the governors of Rio Grande do Sul and Roraima, as well as representatives from Rio de Janeiro, Goiás, and Rio Grande do Norte. The agenda included discussions on combating the mosquito that transmits dengue fever, Zika, and the chikungunya virus.
