The current president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has the support of the media, the artistic class, NGOs and the entire state apparatus that claims to protect environmental causes. In the previous government, which was led by a political opponent, any and all actions that harmed the environment were harshly criticized, sometimes fairly and sometimes unfairly. In the current government, we have already broken a record for forest fires, and attacks on the environment continue, but the criticism that was once effusive is now nonexistent.
