That doesn’t mean the other [new president of Petrobras, General Joaquim Silva e Luna] will interfere… This is so that the market people don’t talk nonsense, or rather speculate. But there are ways to tackle other areas, such as fraud, baptism, excessive pricing, to reduce the price. Because in the two years he was there, none of this was taken into account.
