Despite the forecast, it is still not defined whether the companies will only close their doors or if they will park trucks at the entrances of the main gas distributors due to Petrobras’ price increase to halt distribution in the cities of Mauá and São José dos Campos.

The movement is organized by SP Gás and the State of São Paulo Resellers Association (Apregás). Initially, only SP confirmed participation in the strike, however, resellers from Bahia, Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais, Paraná, and Rio de Janeiro may also join.

Gas Distributors Stoppage – Petrobras Has Not Commented

In an interview with bahia.ba, the director of the Gas Resellers Union of the State of Bahia (SinRevGás) Robério Souza stated that the possibility of halting activities in the state is already being studied. According to him, the idea from São Paulo is to carry out a national mobilization, but due to the need for more organization, participation has not yet been defined.

According to Robério Souza, since cooking gas is a basic necessity product, one of the ideas already raised for participation in the protest would be to halt deliveries and keep only resale stores open, in order not to penalize the population.

For him, changes in Petrobras’ internal policy are responsible for the large number of price increases. In Salvador, for instance, the average price of cooking gas is already around R$ 90.

“We would like to open a debate with Petrobras to review the pricing policy on a basic necessity product, at least during this pandemic period. (…) It weighs on the consumer’s wallet,” he emphasized.

“Since the beginning of the pandemic, the LPG price for resellers has risen by 49%. We had to reduce our margins because consumers cannot absorb these increases,” says Adhemar Neto, vice-president of Apregás, to Veja.
