Temer is giving away a barrel of oil to foreigners for less than a small bottle of mineral water.

The scientific and development communities denounce that interim president Michel Temer (PMDB) is giving away Brazilian oil from the Carcará reserve, located in ultra-deep waters of the Santos Basin, to foreign capital for the paltry sum of two dollars (R$ 6,28) per barrel. Less than the price of a small bottle of mineral water sold for R$ 8 during the Rio Olympics. 

At yesterday's lowest price (11), the barrel cost US$ 45 or the equivalent of R$ 141.

Professor Ildo Sauer, from USP (University of São Paulo), wrote in a plea for help that he is extremely distressed by the vile process underway to hand over Carcará.

“I recall that, during the capitalization, the barrel was valued between 8 and 11 dollars. Now they are selling between 700 million and 1,3 billion barrels for 2 billion dollars, 2 dollars per barrel. It's not just about this absurdity. It's about the principles and values ​​of conduct,” the academic repudiated.

Temer's privatization frenzy could cause losses of up to R$ 40 billion to Brazilians in Carcará alone.

Senator Roberto Requião (PMDB-PR) got involved to denounce this crime against the country.

"Delivering Carcará at $2 per barrel. Help, spread the word. It's no longer about overturning impeachment. It's about saving Brazil," the congressman pleaded.
