In The Attempt To Secure The Title Of President Of The Republic, Candidates Focus On The Proposals That Most Attract The Attention Of Voters, Such As The Fall In Fuel Prices And Investments In The Naval Sector

In Light Of The Presidential Race, Candidate Lula From The PT Made A Statement This Tuesday, 10/11, Focused On The Naval Industry, Since He Promises That If Elected, He Will Bring Back Investments In The Sector. In Contrast, Candidate Bolsonaro From The PL Took Advantage Of The Deflation Announced By The IBGE To Highlight The Drop In The Price Of Fuels.

In Addition To Promising The Return Of Investments In The Naval Sector And Trying To Reverse The Advantage That The PL Candidate Had In Rio De Janeiro In The 1st Round, The PT Candidate, During The Rally Held In Belford Roxo, In The Baixada Fluminense, Stated That Job Creation Will Be An “Obsession” Of His Government.

“The Resumption Of Industrial Development Involves Discussing Which Niche Of Industry We Want To Foster And It Is Up To The State To Take The Initiative,” He Stated.

Candidate Lula Criticizes The Sale Of Petrobras Assets During The Current Government And The Government Of Michel Temer

Still At The Rally, Lula Claims He Wants To “Attract Foreign Direct Investment” For His New Projects And That He Does Not Intend To Use Them To Purchase Domestic Industries. He Even Criticizes The Sales Of Petrobras Assets During The Temer And Bolsonaro Governments, Which Resulted In The Privatization Of Subsidiaries Such As BR Distribuidora, Liquigás, Gaspetro, And TAG (Transportadora Associada De Gás).

The Investments In The Naval Industry Were A Symbol Of Petrobras During The Governments Of The PT Candidate, However, The Sector Fell Into Crisis With The Involvement Of Shipyards In Crimes Investigated In The Lava Jato. Due To Delays In Deliveries And The Relaxation Of The Local Content Policy, The Construction Of Platforms Shifted Primarily To Asia. Additionally, The Brazilian Naval Industry, Lacking Investments, Lost More Than 60,000 Jobs Since 2014, When It Employed 82,000 People, According To Sinaval.

Bolsonaro Defends The Drop In Fuel Prices In Balneário Camboriú

At The Same Time, Candidate Bolsonaro Conducted A Campaign In The Southern Region Of Brazil, Where He Also Had An Advantage Over The Other Candidate In The First Round. Throughout His Speech In Balneário Camboriú, Santa Catarina, The Candidate Criticized The PT Governments And Focused On The Drop In The Price Of Fuels. Additionally, The President Took Advantage Of The Favorable Agenda Of The Day, Following The Announcement By The IBGE Of Another Month Of Deflation: The IPCA Fell 0.29% In September, After Already Having Decreased 0.36% In August And 0.68% In July.

The Drop In Fuel Prices, Such As Gasoline, Resulted From A Combination Of Federal Tax Exemptions, The State ICMS Ceiling, And Reductions In Petrobras Prices. This Was Key To The Deflation Over The Last Three Months, According To The IBGE.
