Does Brazil have any checks and balances? Hopefully the guy can't just declare open season on the rainforest like that. There'd be a massive international boycott of Brazil's exports if they did that anyway.
“not one centimeter of land will be demarcated for indigenous reserves or quilombolas (descendants of those people who freed themselves from slavery).”
Meaning no additional land will be given to the native population. Somehow that turned into a headline of “we’ll bulldoze the entire Amazon rainforest”

This is probably the truth. Media always twists words to get an emotional investment.
