Earlier, Ronnie met with several European leaders in which he condemned Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro call for economic development in the Amazon rainforest. Bolsonaro alleges that such development is key to the local population and the country's economic prosperity.

According to figures released by the Association of Desperate People of Brazil, a non-profit group, about 30,000 indigenous peoples have been infected’ with the virus since the outbreak and more than 700 have died. ۔ On August 4, a Supreme Court decision forced the government to come up with a plan to create sanitary barriers within 60 days that would protect rural communities from Code 19.
