On February 19, Bolsonaro announced the change in the presidency of the state-owned company, appointing General Silva e Luna and said that he would also act in the electricity market

The President of the Republic Jair Messias Bolsonaro, who announced on 02/19 the replacement of the president of Petrobras, appointing General Joaquim Silva e Luna to the position, said that he would also make changes in the country’s electricity sector. “We will get involved in electricity, which is another problem too,” says the President of the Republic.

In a conversation with his supporters, the President also talked about the increases in fuel prices at the pumps, “It’s not just about raising prices according to the oil prices abroad and the dollar here, there’s more to it: the concern is to make money off the people. A 32% increase in diesel this year is unjustifiable. No one expected this outrage of a raise right now.”
