There is no political support or public support in Congress for the privatization of Petrobras. President Jair Bolsonaro and Economy Minister Paulo Guedes know this. But they are using the specter of the sale of the state-owned company as a way to alleviate the wear and tear they have suffered from the rise in fuel prices.
Total fake news, beautiful flower of Bolsonarism.
Talking about privatizing Petrobras is one way of trying to outsource responsibility for the government’s inability to articulate a measure to reduce the rise in gasoline, ethanol, diesel and cooking gas prices.
Guedes is a minister without the capacity for political expression in Congress. Bolsonaro is ignorant of a number of public policy issues, from international relations to social programs. The disabled list of the Guedes-Bolsonaro duo is huge.
In this context, the appointment of the new Mining and Energy Minister Adolfo Sachsida is part of the bolsonarista factoid factory. With no real government documents to submit, Bolsonaro changed the Mining and Energy minister to make it look like he was making an important decision.
A deteriorating Paulo Guedes type, Sachsida combines all the flaws that a minister of state should not have: stupid, prejudiced, sexist, hound…
Petrobras will not be privatized under Bolsonaro’s government. The president and the economy minister do not know what to do to mitigate the increase in fuel prices. It only serves the interests of a non-governing government to take time for this discussion.
temporary subsidy
In the short term, it is clear that some form of subsidy should be introduced to the sectors most affected by the increase in fuel prices. It should be a temporary measure focused on the poorest, affected by the huge economic crisis that combines high unemployment and inflation on the Moon, the core business of the Guedes-Bolsonaro duo.

Despite Lula’s good performance in Minas Gerais, PT’s platform in the state is currently blocked. There is consensus in the PT to support Alexandre Kali’s (PSD) candidacy for the Minas Gerais government. However, there is strong PT resistance to support the re-election of Alexandre Silveira (PSD) to the Senate.
Silveira’s threats to become Bolsonaro’s leader in the Senate only created more difficulties and further speeches to the PT wing told Lula that the package had become too expensive in Minas.
