She also reported that a firefighter became ill during the firefighting efforts and had to be carried by colleagues. Michelin said that the Amazon Fire Department requested reinforcements from the federal government on September 18, including four aircraft, transportation, and vehicles. According to her, on October 1, the National Public Security Secretariat, linked to the Lula government, responded that the request could not be met at that moment. The author stated that the federal government claimed the state had waived support and cited 229 extinguished fires and another 20 still being fought. She said the aircraft began to arrive on October 10, following a wave of complaints on social media. The author compared the current mobilization with that of 2021, during the Bolsonaro government, when Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Maria Bethânia, and Chico César participated in the song "Canção pra Amazônia," by Greenpeace. She questioned the absence of a similar mobilization in light of the situation of residents and firefighters. Michelin called Lula and the Amazonas government hypocrites and demanded explanations about who had denied or waived help and when reinforcements arrived at the fire line. She also stated that human and animal lives threatened by smoke should take precedence over political disputes. #Amazônia #Incêndios #MeioAmbiente (translated)
