And our privatization agenda, this MP does not address that nowadays, but our privatization agenda continues at full steam. And we do want to streamline the State, reduce its size, so that our economy can provide the satisfaction, give the answer that society needs.”

The Minister of Mines and Energy, Bento Albuquerque, already on his way out of Congress, declared, “This is a very important advance for Brazil.
