French in Brazil... Macron visits Salvador da Bahia

Yesterday, President Macron visited Salvador da Bahia. Alongside the obligatory political visit and meeting with all the local bigwigs (the mayor, the governor, and the Minister of Culture, Margarete Menezes), he also took the time to visit museums like the MAM (Museum of Modern Art) and the Museu Afro Brasileiro… for those looking for something to do :/

Hi, thanks for the link. What this article doesn’t mention (unless I misread it, but I do read Portuguese) is that during the conference, Mr. Macron took some jabs at that major power that left the COP21 and thus the Paris Agreement ;)

The President of the Republic, on a visit to Belém, Brazil, stated this Thursday, November 6, that "climate disinformation now poses a threat to our democracies." While in Belém, in the Brazilian Amazon, he criticized the "prophets of chaos" who "sow doubt about the climate emergency." Emmanuel Macron called on world leaders this Thursday, November 6, to choose "multilateralism over isolationism" and "science over ideology."

article on BFM I’ll let you guess who those jabs were aimed at
