Neutral point of view

¨Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been seen to respond passively to the disaster, speaking publicly only to pass blame¨ i think this could be considered against the npv in my opinion. Im purposing we change this to a more npv compliant wording. --86.60.247.7 (talk) 11:05, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It is sourced to this article which is considered to be from a reliable source. It's possible that the text could be improved to more closely reflect the article, but I think that it's also WP:DUE to cover the people's impression about the suboptimal government response. WP:NPOV is about properly representing reliable sources, not avoiding notable and media-reported criticism. —Paleo Neonate – 06:09, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
