Rio Grande do Sul Is Going Through A Complicated Period Due To The Rains Affecting The State. According To The Newspaper Folha de S.Paulo, Despite This, The Federal Government Disregarded Help From Uruguay.

According To The Site, The Federal Government Disregarded Equipment That Could Have Been Used In The Rescue Of The Flood Victims In Rio Grande Do Sul.

Among This Equipment Were Boats, A Transport Plane, And Drones To Assist In The Operations. This Proposal For Help Came After Eduardo Leite, The Governor Of Rio Grande Do Sul, Had Requested Assistance From Uruguay.

However, The Federal Government Released A Statement On This Wednesday (08) Claiming That “Due To Its Characteristics, It Would Not Be Suitable For The Type Of Operation Required And The Available Airport Infrastructure.”

“Considering Also That There Is Already A Plane In Operation In Rio Grande Do Sul From The Brazilian Fleet With The Same Functionality As The One Offered, The Conclusion Was That There Was No Need For That Type Of Aircraft,” Says The Statement.

The Information Was Revealed By The Newspaper Folha de S.Paulo. According To The Mentioned Newspaper, A Member Of The State Government Said That This Was A Joint Decision Made With The Federal Government.

A Member Of The Uruguayan Government Highlighted That The Offer Was Indeed Made And Refused. This Person, However, Assured That The Decline Did Not Cause Any Kind Of Problem In The Relationship And Was Understood.

Help From Uruguay

According To Folha de S.Paulo, The Uruguayan Government Offered Items Such As Two Motorized Boats, With Crews, And Two Drones For Searching For People. Additionally, Personnel For Operation And A Lockheed KC-130 Transport Plane Were Also Offered – This Would Be Used To Transport Equipment And Donations.

This Was Not The First Show Of Intent To Help From Uruguay. Previously, The Government Of The Neighboring Country Offered The Loan Of A Rescue Helicopter. This Time, The Help Was Accepted, And The Aircraft Is Already, In Fact, In Operation In Rio Grande Do Sul.
