Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro has changed six ministers, altering the cabinet. In fact, the President is constantly under pressure to not deal properly with the Covid-19 Pandemic. For this reason Bolsonaro had to take this decision. Bolsonaro’s press office said in a statement on Monday evening that Carlos Alberto Franco Franca has been appointed the country’s new foreign minister. At the same time, the charge of defense minister has been assigned to Walter Souza Braga.
Bolsonaro raised doubts about Corona from the beginning and turned down the appeal to implement health measures. Due to this, the pace of infection in the country increased. In Brazil, there is currently a second wave of corona and hospitals are full of patients. The number of corona deaths in the country is more than 3,12,000. At the same time, the number of corona infected in the country is 1.25 crore. Brazil’s Ministry of Health said on Monday that 1,660 people died due to infection in the country in the last 24 hours and 38,927 new cases were reported.
Corona raised Bolsonaro’s concern
Health experts say that this time more outbreak of the virus is being seen on the young population of Brazil. On the other hand, the President of Brazil has remained silent about the cabinet reshuffle. The pressure on the President is increasing due to the ill effects of the epidemic. The government on Monday appointed General Luiz Eduardo Ramos as the new Chief of Staff of the country. Police Commander Anderson Torres was appointed as the Law Minister and the new Attorney General and Secretary to the Government.
Health Minister removed from the post at the beginning of the month
Earlier this month, the President removed the country’s Health Minister Eduardo Pazuelo. Pajuelo was dealing with it during the Corona epidemic that continued in the country. But in Brazil, he was criticized for the sluggish pace of vaccination. At the same time, Marcelo Cueroga was replaced as the new Health Minister of the country in place of Pajuelo. He has said that he will meet the US Ambassador to ensure the supply of Pfizer Bioentech vaccine in the country.
