• Brazil: The murder of an indigenous 'forest keeper' shakes the Amazon again

The president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, treated Greta Thunberg on Tuesday as "brat" after the young Swedish activist condemned the murder of two indigenous people in the Amazon .

"Greta has already said that the Indians died because they were defending the Amazon," the president said ironically. "It is impressive that the press gives space to a brat like her , a brat," he added, answering questions from journalists when he left his official residence in Brasilia .

Thunberg, 16, received the statement of the Brazilian president with humor and replaced the description of his Twitter profile with the word 'Pirralha' ("brat" in Portuguese).

The Swedish activist, who has become an icon of youth concerned with climate change, condemned the shooting murder last weekend of two Guajajara Indians inside Maranhao , northeastern Brazil.

"Indigenous peoples are literally being killed for trying to protect the jungle from illegal deforestation. Again and again. It is shameful that the world remains silent about this," he wrote on Twitter, where he has more than three million followers.

The attack, which is being investigated by the Brazilian authorities, occurred less than forty days after the murder of another indigenous leader in the same region.

Bolsonaro, who defends the expansion of agricultural and mining activities in the rainforest, said Tuesday that "any death worries" and that his government is "contrary to illegal deforestation . "

Environmental and human rights organizations accuse the Brazilian president of promoting policies that weaken the protection of the environment and indigenous peoples.

Thunberg's reaction has been similar to what he had a few months ago, when the president of the United States, Donald Trump, referred to her with nothing disguised irony as "a young and very happy girl who expects a bright and wonderful future" .

That same day, Greta altered his presentation and his biography on his Twitter network profile and went on to define himself as Trump had done: "A young and very happy girl who expects a bright and wonderful future."
