To use his words, on the one hand, there is a frank and positive policy in favor of climate action and reforestation of the Amazon forest, with the Minister of the Environment originally from this part of Brazil, but there is a part of the government, including the Minister of Energy, that supports fossil fuels with the private sector, the agribusiness as main support .
