During The Day Of April 21, Tiradentes Holiday, Jair Bolsonaro Would Have Sent Some Indirects About The Possibility Of Creating A Diesel Allowance, Which Would Serve As Incentive For Truck Drivers. The Social Program Would Count On The Value Of R$ 400 And Could Benefit At Least 750 Thousand Workers In The Sector.

Economists Warn That Diesel Is Already Having An Increase Of Over 65% In Just One Year, While The Price Of Gasoline Is Around R$ 7 In At Least Twenty Brazilian States, Having Increased By 60%. Last Year, The Trucking Sector Threatened The Bolsonaro Government With A Strike, But Now They Claim That It Is Not Just The Sector’s Job To Manifest While The Population Takes No Action. Therefore, They Would Be Working Normally Even After The Significant Increases In March. In Summary, The Creation Of The Diesel Allowance Similar To This Has Been Discussed By The Ministry Of Economy, Currently Led By Paulo Guedes, Since The Beginning Of 2021, When Gasoline Started To Experience Peaks Caused By Petrobras And Its Attempts To Keep Up With The External Market.

 The Initiative Taken By The Government Aims To Reduce The Impacts Caused By The Increase In Fuels 

The Initiative Taken By The Federal Government Has As Its Main Objective To Reduce The Impacts Caused By The Increase In Fuels. Brent Oil, For Example, Is Being Quoted At About US$ 104 Per Barrel This Monday, May 2, Because Of The War Happening Between Ukraine And Russia. Political Conflicts Create Greater Instability In The International Market And Directly Impact The Brazilian Economy, Especially With Petrobras’ Attempts To Charge For Each Liter Based On The Dollar. 

New Increase In Fuels Happened At The End Of May, Causing New Controversies. Need For Diesel Allowance Increases Along With Pressure From The Bolsonaro Government.

The New Increase In The Price Of Diesel Would Have Come Into Effect On April 26 And Was Adjusted By At Least 9%. According To Jair Bolsonaro, This Would Be Due To The Offer In The External Market And Also Because Of The Price Of The Dollar, Which Is Again Flirting With The $ 5 Range. 

The New Increase In Diesel Was Quite Significant, Rising From R$ 3.06 To R$ 3.34. The Last Price Increase On The Fuel Would Have Occurred In March, After Being Over 60 Days Without Any Adjustment Due To A Block Approved By The Ministry Of Economy, With Emphasis On Promoting A Stable Economy Without Too Much Volatility. 

The Federal Government Is Under Pressure To Take Action, Especially This Election Year, When They Will Compete Against Names Like Luiz Inácio Lula  Da Silva And Ciro Gomes. Moro Is One Of The Candidates Who Stated That He Would Withdraw From The Competition After Noticing That The Voting Intentions Were Not As Favorable As He Had Believed. 

The Truck Drivers Demand The Payment Of R$ 400 For The Diesel Allowance, But Just That Will Not Be Enough To Prevent A Strike From Erupting In A Few Months. The Sector Requests That The Retirement Rules And The INSS Be Changed To Allow Them To Retire After Only 25 Years Of Contribution Instead Of 30, As Provided By The Reform They Advocated For.
