Governor of São Paulo States That the Federal Government Does Not Rule Out Privatization of the Port of Santos

The Governor of São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans), indicated that President Lula has not dismissed the mega-auction of the Port of Santos, which was planned during his tenure as Minister of Infrastructure under Jair Bolsonaro. According to him, in an interview with Estadão, the Government has not only ruled out the hypothesis but is also open to the mega-auction.

In his management as Minister of Infrastructure, Tarcísio viewed the initiative as very positive. For him, the privatization of the port, in the model of selling the port authority, is a delicate topic from the perspective of the new government.

On the other hand, Tarcísio pointed out that President Lula is not “bound to dogmas.” According to him, “He said that, obviously, this issue of privatization is a sensitive topic, but that he is also not bound to dogmas and is open to internal discussions.” Finally, Tarcísio noted that the topic is quite sensitive and, therefore, caution is necessary when discussing it.
