Paulo Rabello: "Neoliberals want Petrobras as a dead body"
Paulo Rabello de Castro, president of BNDES during Michel Temer's government and pre-candidate for president with the PSC party, accuses Temer and the PSDB party, which appointed Pedro Parente as president of Petrobras, of wanting to destroy the Brazilian oil company. "The neoliberals want to privatize Petrobras, to dissect the company when its body is already dead," Rabello told Jornal do Brasil. "An efficient company in a competitive market values, loves, and respects its customers. It doesn't do what Petrobras did, trampling on truck drivers and Brazilian consumers."
247 - Paulo Rabello de Castro, the PSC's pre-candidate for President, accused Michel Temer and the PSDB, which nominated Pedro Parente to the presidency of Petrobras, of wanting to destroy the Brazilian oil company.
"The neoliberals who want to privatize Petrobras want to dissect the company when its body is already dead," Rabello told Jornal do Brasil this Thursday, the 31st.
According to the former president of the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES), the 10-day truckers' strike is "the result of management at Petrobras that led to a clumsy valuation of the company, which mistreats its customers, sometimes increasing prices, sometimes controlling production, because it exercises an anachronistic monopoly."
"An efficient company in a competitive market values, loves, and respects its customers. It doesn't act like Petrobras, which trampled on truck drivers and Brazilian consumers," Rabello says, referring to Pedro Parente's policies.
The former president of BNDES defends changing the policy adopted at Petrobras. "It's about valuing oil workers and Petrobras as a globally competitive Brazilian company. But competition is only won by playing the market game. My proposal is to help Petrobras enter this game, through the diesel auction system, and thus become truly globally competitive," he argues.
