President Jair Bolsonaro wants to compare fuel prices practiced by Petrobras in Brazil with other countries, in addition to other percentages, in an emergency meeting to be held next Tuesday

Bolsonaro said at a press conference yesterday (12) that he was surprised by Petrobras' decision to readjust the price of diesel by 5,7%, despite reaffirming that his government will not be interventionist, and thus not cause the same problems as administrations. previous.

Next Tuesday (16/04), President Bolsonaro called an emergency meeting to clarify the reason for this high readjustment, since the inflation forecast for the whole year of 2019 is below the 5% range.

Bolsonaro says he wants to know absolutely everything: the basis of these percentages, pricing policies, how much a barrel of oil costs (extracted in Brazil vs. values.

Beforehand, he has already shown dismay with some federal taxes, such as the ICMS (Tax on Circulation of Goods and Services), and declared that in addition to Petrobras and the President of the Republic, state governments should also be charged.

Its goal is to try to reduce all taxes and interrupt the policy of resolving everything based on the “pen”. Just below, it is possible to check Bolsonaro's interview in full regarding the accountability that the Brazilian state-owned Petrobras must provide to the government.

On that same day, April 12, Petrobras had a 5% drop in shares after Bolsonaro temporarily intervened and asked the state-owned company not to increase the price of diesel, which ended up justifying the interview above.

BR distributora, the largest gas station company in the country, should even be part of Petrobras' divestments. The oil company talks with banks and investors to sell 30% and thus keep 40%, the deal must be closed so that the collection reaches R$ 8 billion, since the distributor is worth R$ 27,3 billion and Petrobras' participation revolves around BRL 20 billion for the fourth price on the B3 (Bolsa Paulista).
