PT Lawmakers in the Northeast Will Try to Prevent the Sale of Gaspetro, a Company Controlled by Petrobras, in Court

Petrobras: the northeastern PT caucus is going to the Federal Court of Pernambuco against the sale of Gaspetro. The lawmakers argue that the oil crisis and the economic slowdown is the worst time to sell the company. Petrobras Puts Four Oil Thermal Power Plants Up for Sale

The process requests the suspension of the sale of Gaspetro for 6 months and was filed by Senators Humberto Costa (PE), Jacques Wagner (BA), and Federal Deputies Joseildo Ramos (BA), Jorge Solla (BA), and Bohn Gass (RS).

Petrobras had already postponed the sale of Gaspetro, and the current deadline for interested companies to qualify ends tomorrow, May 15.

Petrobras is trying to sell its 51 percent stake in Gaspetro, which in turn is a partner in regional natural gas distributors.

This operation involves Mitsui, which holds a 49% stake in the subsidiary, and, in some cases, state governments that own part of the distributors and are divided between those interested in privatization or, conversely, in increasing their share in the companies.

Northeast lawmakers believe they have a preferential right to purchase Gaspetro’s stake in state-owned companies and are interested in exercising this option in some states. by – epbr
