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.

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.
