The President Says That New Refineries Would Be A Way To Control The Price And Also Criticized “Did You Enjoy The Gasoline Price Increase Again?”

President Jair Bolsonaro questioned the new increase in gasoline prices and said he hopes new refineries will enter the Brazilian market, so that this can be a way to control the rising fuel prices. Gasoline and diesel increased by 4.8% and 5%, respectively. The increase took effect last Tuesday (2).

“The president [of Petrobras, Roberto Castello Branco] only leaves on the 20th [of March]. 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. [We need to] Find ways to have more refineries in Brazil. I know it takes time, but we have to start,” says Bolsonaro.
