President says that “fuel issue” will be analyzed in “normality” and without “pencil” in the law of state-owned companies
President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) said this Monday (June 27, 2022) that Petrobras will have “a new dynamic” with the arrival of Caio Mario Paes de Andrade to the presidency of the company.
“Today Caio is taking over Petrobras. We will have a new dynamic at Petrobras in terms of fuel in Brazil”, said the president in a ceremony at the Planalto Palace. Petrobras’ Board of Directors appointed Paes de Andrade as director and president of the state-owned company. He, however, has not yet been sworn in.
In his speech, Bolsonaro said that his government will not make changes to the law of state-owned companies for “pen”. According to him, “everything will be analyzed normally, on the basis of the law” and “without a pen in the law of state-owned companies, without wanting to interfere in anything, but with a lot of respect and responsibility”.
as showed the Power 360Palácio do Planalto wants to increase the frequency of gas assistance, known as gas vouchers, and distribute a voucher to truck drivers instead of changing the State-owned Companies Law by a Provisional Measure.
The measure that would change the rules of public companies was suggested by the president of the Chamber, Arthur Lira (PP-AL), and by leaders of Centrão.
The State-Owned Companies Law, enacted in 2016, after the Lava Jato operation, determines that public companies must be operated in accordance with governance criteria. They must have a statute, an independent board of directors and practice policies in accordance with market conditions. The change would seek to break Petrobras’ hermeticity.
Putin
Bolsonaro also spoke this Monday (June 27) about the call he made to President Vladimir Putin of Russia.
“We deal with food insecurity and energy insecurity. Therefore, Brazil is working, progressing, moving forward and winning these phases”, said.
The Brazilian president claimed to have sought out the Kremlin 4 months before the president of the United States, Joe Biden, to discuss fertilizers.
“Dear Paulo Guedes, since you said that we are the most digital country in the Americas, there is the Brazilian JB [Jair Bolsonaro] and the North American JB [Joe Biden]. A few weeks ago, the American JB sent someone from the UN (United Nations) to talk to Putin about fertilizers. The Brazilian JB sent it 4 months ago”declared.
