Bolsonaro has already mocked Macron’s wife, who has been re-elected president of France

French President Emmanuel Macron Re-elected to a new five-year term, this Sunday (24/4). Macron celebrated the victory alongside his wife Brigitte, who in 2019 was subjected to a joke launched by President Jair Bolsonaro (PL), on social media.

Days later, a follower of the president published a photo of Brigitte and First Lady Michel, saying that Macron was chasing him out of envy. Bolsonaro replied: “Don’t insult the man. Ha-ha-ha-ha.” The comparison indicated the ages of the two wives and suggested that Bolsonaro would have an advantage because he was younger. In response, Macron called Bolsonaro “very disrespectful” and said he felt sorry for Brazilians.

“We ask all Brazilians to become more aware of who this country, this wonder, is called Brazil. A country unique in the world, it has everything to succeed and we need each of you to rebuild it. Freedom comes first. (…) Our Brazil, Green and yellow,” he said.

“France is an example for us, not to mention Mr. Macron. Macron accompanies him very well, and if Macron not accompanies him well, they understand each other, speak the same language,” said the president. “Macron has always been hitting us on the Amazon issue, as if he and his predecessors had kept something in France,” he added.
