Criticism and justification
the accusers of Maggi hold him responsible for the destruction of the Amazon rainforest. His supporters argue that he is taking brazil forward. One reach through the columns of the New York Times in 2003: “to me, a 40 per cent increase in deforestation doesn’t mean anything at all, and i don’t feel the slightest Gulit over what we are doing here. We’re talking about an area larger than Europe that has barely been touched, so there is nothing at all to get worried about.”
