Request was sent to Minister André Mendonça; deadline ended on the 6th (June 24, 2022), but the state company asked for another 5 days
On Wednesday (June 22, 2022), Petrobras asked Minister André Mendonça, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), for more time to explain the criteria used by the company to readjust the price of fuels.
On the 6th (June 17, 2022), Mendonça gave Petrobras 5 days to provide “Details Information” on the increase in diesel and gasoline and on the pricing policy of the last 60 months. The deadline ended on the 6th (June 24). Petrobras asked for another 5 working days.
According to the state-owned company, the volume of information required prevents compliance with the deadline. Here’s the intact (208 KB) of the request made by Petrobras to Minister André Mendonça.
“In light of the large volume of data to be analyzed to determine the information and documentation required, as well as attentive to the inexorable quality of the data to be explained in order to contribute to the jurisdictional provision, Petrobras comes, with all respects, to present the request for extension of the period originally set for compliance with the determinations”says the request.
Petrobras, however, committed to send, within the initial period, “part of the requested documentation that it manages to collect up to that date, which will cover the years 2017 and 2018, as estimated”.
The text sent to the Supreme Court is signed by lawyers Rafael de Matos Gomes da Silva, Tales David Macedo and Frederico de Oliveira Ferreira.
readjustment
Mendonça’s decision was taken shortly after Petrobras announced the readjustment for gasoline, which went from R$3.86 to R$4.06 per liter, and diesel, which went from R$4.91 to R$4.91. 5.51 a litre.
The percentage increase in gasoline was 5.18%. For diesel, it was 14.26%. The new values went into effect on Saturday (18.jun) for the sale to distributors, according to the state-owned company.
Petrobras claims that the price of gasoline went 99 days without adjustments. The diesel one, 39 days. According to the state, “the company has sought to balance its prices with the global market, but without the immediate pass-through to domestic prices”.
On the 2nd (June 20), pressured by the Planalto, the then president of Petrobras, José Mauro Ferreira Coelho, resigned. On the same day, the state-owned company announced Fernando Assumpção Borges as interim president.
