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. Manoel criticized proposals from Flávio's government plan to accelerate environmental licensing. 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. Manoel called Flávio Bolsonaro a setback and advocated for the re-election of President Lula, as well as the end of what he described as a project of destruction of Brazil by the Bolsonaro family. #MeioAmbiente #Sustentabilidade #Bolsonaro (translated)

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)

He said that São Paulo demonstrated that a right-wing government could reconcile environmental preservation and development. According to Freitas, in 2025 the area affected by fires in state conservation units fell by 91% compared to 2024. He also stated that in August 2026, the state recorded the lowest number of hotspots for that month since the beginning of the historical series in 1998. He mentioned that more than R$ 400 million had been mobilized to prevent and combat wildfires, with investments in technology, satellite monitoring, and artificial intelligence. The governor also declared that over 44,000 hectares were in the process of forest restoration and that 13.2 thousand hectares had been incorporated into state protected areas. Regarding river recovery, he cited R$ 22 billion in investments in IntegraTietê, more than 1.5 million households connected to the sewage network, and 6.5 million cubic meters of sediments removed from the Tietê basin. According to him, the organic pollution load of the river had decreased by almost 30%, and the pollution stain had receded by 33 kilometers, about 16%.
