Tarcísio Gomes de Freitas criticized the PT and the left, stating that they were neglecting the situation in the Amazon. He said that São Paulo demonstrated that a right-wing government could reconcile environmental preservation and development. According to Freitas, in 2025 the area affected by fires in state conservation units fell by 91% compared to 2024. He also stated that in August 2026, the state recorded the lowest number of hotspots for that month since the beginning of the historical series in 1998. He mentioned that more than R$ 400 million had been mobilized to prevent and combat wildfires, with investments in technology, satellite monitoring, and artificial intelligence. The governor also declared that over 44,000 hectares were in the process of forest restoration and that 13.2 thousand hectares had been incorporated into state protected areas. Regarding river recovery, he cited R$ 22 billion in investments in IntegraTietê, more than 1.5 million households connected to the sewage network, and 6.5 million cubic meters of sediments removed from the Tietê basin. According to him, the organic pollution load of the river had decreased by almost 30%, and the pollution stain had receded by 33 kilometers, about 16%. Freitas stated that these actions had not impeded economic development, job creation, and the growth of São Paulo, and he argued that environmental protection depended on responsibility and work, not ideology. #MeioAmbiente #DesenvolvimentoSustentável #SãoPaulo (translated)

⚠️ATTENTION AFFECTED AREAS DANA 29-O⚠️ ➡️Although this situation is of high danger, it is not a scenario in any way similar to 29-O. The most intense rainfall will be in a much smaller area, closer to the coast and of shorter duration, thus reducing the risk of river and ravine overflow. 🚨The risk will be rainfall flooding (the drainage system is not capable of handling the rainwater) but maintaining the risk (with lower probability) of some local overflow, especially in the NORTH OF CASTELLÓN where the rainfall may be more intense inland. ⚠️Even so, we repeat that this is a situation of much uncertainty and difficult forecasting. There is a possibility that storms may occur at sea or with greater or lesser intensity than predicted. The red alert is CORRECT from AEMET. 📲🔴About the Es-Alert: it has been used to notify of the red alert that comes into effect from 18:00 and ends at 1:59 on Friday. In this tweet, we will not comment on its use; we will leave that for after the episode. 🗺Map: Accumulated precipitation in 12h https://t.co/A6YUIBXlF2 https://t.co/A6YUIBXlF2 #Dana29O #Inundaciones #Clima (translated)
