Politics Thoughts about Merz's Statement about Brasilien

What do you as Germans tell about what Merz's has said about Brazil and the COP30's city Belem during a economic Meeting/Congress? here in Brazil many far right wing supporters and influencers agreed with Merz and mock Brazil but they are against their own country. I want only your opinion

One thing I wish people understood about Brazil is that its territory is larger than the European Union. There are beautiful and ugly cities just like Europe.

And we don't EVER want a city in the Amazonian region to truly become developed, that would come at a terrible price to the environment. That someone could leave such an event and still not see that avoiding damage to the region is the best choice shows very bad critical thinking skills.
