Lula exposes the absurdity after a year of Parente's pricing policy.

"And the price of gasoline? After a year of the new pricing policy, gasoline has risen 40% and diesel 30%. While we follow international prices unnecessarily, Brazilian refineries continue to operate with idle capacity. They pay more for gasoline and generate jobs abroad. It's absurd," describes a message published on Twitter by former President Lula.

247 - A message posted on Twitter by former President Lula this Wednesday, the 4th, demonstrates the absurdity and damage caused by Pedro Parente's pricing policy at Petrobras, a year later. The truckers' strike has already ousted Parente from the helm of the state-owned company, but the pricing policy is still in effect.

"And what about the price of gasoline? After a year of the new pricing policy, gasoline has risen 40% and diesel 30%. While we follow international prices unnecessarily, Brazilian refineries continue to operate with idle capacity. They pay more for gasoline and generate jobs abroad. It's absurd," says Lula's message.
