“Seeing the far right defeated will always be cause for joy. The greater pleasure will be to see it wither and the democratic struggle take place with less polarization and more quality. In Brazil, France and the whole planet! Emmanuel Macron And help France to better occupy its place in the world.”

“victory Emmanuel Macron The French presidency shows that it is possible for democracy to defeat populism. May you serve as an example for Brazil.”

Louise Inacio squid da Silva (PT):

“congratulations Emmanuel Macron for his landslide victory in the polls. I am rooted in the success of your government, in the improvement of the living conditions of the French people, and in the development of the integration of the European Union. I am confident that President Macron will contribute to addressing the global challenges of climate change and epidemics, fighting inequality and building peace in Europe.”

Preserve democracy, moderation and dialogue. Brazil needs the same path. Emmanuel Macron Re-elected president of France. In France the united democratic forces triumphed. Let us celebrate, but without rest, because the virus that attacks the ideals of freedom and democratic justice continues to occupy the lungs and minds of more than 40% of the French people.”

Political attrition between Bolsonaro and Macron from 2019. During an event held by the Group of Seven, a group of the richest countries in the world, of which Brazil is not a member, Macron wrote on a social network that the fires in the Brazilian Amazon should be discussed “urgently”.

Later, at the G-20 in Osaka, Macron said that if Brazil did not respect the Paris Agreement, France would not ratify the Mercosur agreement with the European Union. The agreement is pending until today, pending approval by the parliaments of the various countries involved.

Bolsonaro responded, amid the escalating crisis with the French: “The French president’s proposal to discuss the Amazon issues in the Group of Seven without the participation of the countries of the region raises an inappropriate colonial mentality in the twenty-first century.”

In August 2019, disagreements between the two presidents erupted into the extrapolation of the political sphere.

The Brazilian president has come under fire for a comment he deemed sexist in a post by a follower on a social network, comparing first ladies in Brazil and France. The follower published pictures of the presidents accompanied by their wives, with the following question: “Do you understand now why Macron is persecuting Bolsonaro?”

And the follower also added: “It’s the envy of Macron’s president, can you believe (sic).” Bolsonaro responded to the comment, saying: “Rodrigo Andrica does not insult kkkkk.”

Macron expressed himself about the incident: “Since I have great friendship and respect for the Brazilian people, I hope they will quickly have a president who will act according to their standards,” said the French president.
