There will be a shortage of cooking gas, and it's Temer's fault.

The Unified Federation of Oil Workers (FUP) has been warning for some time that Temer's sell-out policy regarding Brazilian oil is the act of a traitor to the nation.

He has already explained to anyone who will listen that closing our refineries and buying refined oil abroad at a higher price than it would be produced here is something a stupid government would do.

He has already shown all the statistics about the thousands of unemployed people created by the coup-plotting Temer in the oil industry.

Now it's giving another clear warning: there will be a shortage of LPG, the cooking gas that all Brazilian households – at least those that can afford it – use for cooking.

FUP states in a note that Brazil risks experiencing a collapse in gas production because the Temer government reversed the logic practiced during the PT governments.

What did the sellout do? He reduced the processing of refinery fuels, even though the country has the technology and capacity to produce gasoline and cooking gas domestically.

With the decline in refinery production since 2016 and an increase in demand for gas, as has already been detected, the result is obvious: the current supply shortage situation observed in states such as Rio Grande do Norte, Pernambuco, Paraíba, and Santa Catarina is likely to worsen in the short term if Petrobras does not resume its production.

Oil workers are threatening a national strike to guarantee Brazil's oil supply, which will only return to normal if refineries, currently operating at half capacity, return to full capacity.

I support this strike and believe that all Brazilians concerned about the country's future should do the same, defending the idea that our oil should be refined in our country, providing jobs for our workers.
