Diesel, gasoline and LPG prices soar again, hitting truck drivers and millions of Brazilians who suffer as a result of disproportionate increases in relation to current income
High gasoline, diesel and cooking gas prices did not prevent Petrobras from increasing fuel prices even more on July 06, which began with a blow to the pockets of truck drivers and millions of Brazilians who suffer as a result of disproportionate increases in relation to current income. The new increase that came into effect as of yesterday caught the direction of the National Cargo Transport Council - CNTRC by surprise, given that there was a "positive" meeting of the entity held just a week ago with the president of Petrobras.
In a meeting held just a week ago with the president of Petrobras, Gen. Silva e Luna, the board received information that its proposed pricing policy was under review by the company.
The price policy proposal presented by the CNTRC is based on the replacement of the Import Parity Price (PPI) by the Export Parity Price (PPE), as well as the taxation of crude oil exports, whose revenues would be used to compensate states and the Union to implement tax reductions on fuel.
For the leaders of the CNTRC, it is inadmissible for Petrobras' management to respond to pressure from organizations such as the Brazilian Association of Fuel Importers – ABICOM. The entity alleges that “it has nothing Brazilian about it, as it serves the interests of foreign companies and the capital market, such as Ativa Investimentos”.
