The decision was made based on the Organic Law of the Federal District, which requires specific legislation for the creation and extinction of a state-owned parent company, which does not apply to its subsidiaries, for which the existence of generic legislative authorization is sufficient — a position already expressed by the Supreme Federal Court.
In the decision, the minister considered that the barrier to the sale process of the company could have financial implications, as the bidding was, in his view, conducted correctly. “Substantial collection of monetary values, which, in the end, will revert to benefit society as a whole, the final recipient of all state activities carried out.”
