Q: Relations between France and Brazil were more than tense during the Bolsonaro presidency, especially with regard to environmental policy in the Amazon and the EU-Mercosur agreement.

A: Please consult the statement I made earlier today.

Q: Are you afraid that Bolsonaro or his followers will contest the election results? Is there anything you want to say on that topic?

A: Yesterday's election demonstrated the vitality of Brazilian democracy. The voters have spoken and once again, we would like to congratulate the president-elect.
