“There is no intention on the part of the president, at least he hasn’t formulated any idea in that sense”, said the spokesperson about the privatization of Petrobras

The government spokesperson, General Otávio do Rêgo Barros, stated yesterday, the 21st, that President Jair Bolsonaro (PSL) has no intention of privatizing Petrobras, the Brazilian state oil company. “There is no intention on the part of the president, at least he hasn’t formulated any idea in that sense”, said the military when asked if the president is considering privatizing the company. The state company had R$ 18.8 billion in profit in the second quarter of 2019, the largest profit in history!

The statement contradicts what the Minister of the Civil House, Onyx Lorenzoni, said earlier. Lorenzoni mentioned that the government will conduct objective studies to analyze the possibility of privatizing Petrobras, and that this work will be carried out by the technicians from the PPI (Investment Partnership Program), BNDES (National Bank for Economic and Social Development), and the Ministry of Mines and Energy.
