Rio de Janeiro, March 2 (RHC)-- Governors of 16 Brazilian states signed this Monday a public document in which they accuse the federal government of Jair Bolsonaro of distorting information about the resources allocated for the confrontation of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The governors of the signatory states express their concern about the use of official communication instruments by the Federal Government, financed with public money to produce distorted information, generate misinterpretations and attack local governments," the Brazilian politicians expressed.

The open letter also evidences the position of President Jair Bolsonaro "that in the midst of a pandemic of perhaps unprecedented proportions in history, aggravated by an economic and social crisis, the federal government seems to prioritize the creation of confrontations, the construction of Manichean images and the weakening of federal cooperation essential to the interests of the population."

The demand issued specifies that "in relation to the resources actually transferred to the health area, absolutely minority work has been done within the amount published today, all the audit instruments of federal transfers are in force.

"The oversight structure of the Federal Government and the Court of Auditors of the Union has the duty to assure Brazilians that the purpose of these resources is obeyed by each local governor," the missive expresses.

The 16 representatives of the Brazilian states insisted that "the line of disinformation and the promotion of conflict among governors will do nothing to combat the pandemic, much less allow a path of progress for the country".

"Containment of agglomerations - preserving maximum economic activity, respect for science and agility in vaccination - constitute the menu to be practiced in a coordinated manner by the Union as it promotes the protection of life, the first universal right of every human being. It is in this direction that our efforts and energy should be devoted," concluded the document presented by the Brazilian politicians.
