Jones Manoel stated that the government of Jair Bolsonaro represented a threat to the environment and said that Flávio Bolsonaro was following the same path. He associated the son of the former president with criminal organizations, militias, and practices of kickbacks.

According to him, the measure could allow the issuance of licenses before the completion of the analysis by the responsible agencies, increasing the risk of damage to rivers, forests, and communities. He also warned of potential risks of water contamination and impacts on soil with the release of fracking, in addition to the effects of the expansion of mining and the exploration of oil and gas. The author also stated that the plan envisioned reorganizing the functions of agencies responsible for oversight and environmental protection and traditional territories, such as Ibama, Funai, and ICMBio. He defended the role of licensing and oversight in preventing impacts on nature and communities.
