El presidente de Brasil, Jair Bolsonaro, dijo este viernes que evalúa enviar el Ejército a la Amazonía para combatir los incendios cuyo incremento exponencial ha desatado críticas y alertas dentro y fuera del país.

"La tendencia es esa", dijo Bolsonaro temprano a los periodistas apostados en la residencia oficial. "Cerramos eso ahora de mañana", dijo el mandatario.

Fuentes del palacio presidencial confirmaron que el mandatario aprobaría esta mañana una operación militar de acuerdo a lo establecido en la Garantía de Ley y Orden, contemplada en el marco legal brasileño para permitir a los militares actuar en casos en los que las fuerzas tradicionales de seguridad son insuficientes.
