President Jair Bolsonaro, who last week announced changes in Petrobras’ leadership and said he would “get involved in electricity, which is another problem too,” says, “So, the Chamber and the Senate will give due urgency to the matter, especially since it is a provisional measure. 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.”
