The president of Brazil,

Jair Bolsonaro,

arrived in New York without being vaccinated, as demanded by local authorities and recommended by the United Nations, provoking the outrage of the mayor of the city, Bill de Blasio.

"We must send a message to all the leaders of the world, including and very particularly to Bolsonaro, from Brazil,

that whoever wants to come must be vaccinated,

" because "we should all be safe together," de Blasio told reporters.

The mayor demanded last week that all members of the delegations that participate in the United Nations General Assembly that begins this Tuesday, be vaccinated.

The Brazilian president, who in a meeting on Monday with Boris Johnson boasted of not being vaccinated while his interlocutor recommended the British AstraZeneca vaccine, will deliver the first speech at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, before his American counterpart,

Joe Biden. .

Much criticized for his management of the health crisis, Bolsonaro, who

with coronavirus last year, has repeatedly stated that he will be "the last Brazilian" to receive an anticovid vaccine, which has already been injected 222 million doses in your country.

More than 590,000 people have died in Brazil from covid-19.
