Sardenberg, from Globo, also attacks Lula to prevent Brazil from refining its own oil.

247 - Journalist Carlos Alberto Sardenberg, a commentator for Globo and Globonews, also positioned himself against the development of the Brazilian economy. just like their bosses didIn an article published this Saturday, he attacks the resumption of work on the Abreu e Lima Refinery in Pernambuco, a refinery that will generate 30 jobs, make Brazil self-sufficient in diesel, and bring in US$100 billion a year.

"The Lula government is back to redo exactly what went wrong. It will invest between R$ 6 billion and R$ 8 billion in the Abreu e Lima refinery to make it one of the largest and most efficient in the world. But who can believe these estimates? The Comperj project is also returning," writes Sardenberg in his... article In the same article, he also attacks Petrobras' oil exploration in Brazil's new oil frontiers. "Petrobras also makes no secret of its objective to explore oil in the Equatorial Margin, off the coast from Amapá to Rio Grande do Norte. The major global oil companies continue to explore for oil. However, they are not investing in refining, taking into account the already announced global restrictions on the production and marketing of combustion vehicles," the journalist continues, in a completely nonsensical argument, since oil only becomes a useful product for society after it has been refined.

Finally, Sardenberg explains what he advocates for Brazil: a model of an underdeveloped economy subjected to major international interests. "The American government has no interest whatsoever in destroying Petrobras. On the contrary, it's willing to buy Brazilian oil, and American companies are willing to be partners with the Brazilian company," he writes. In other words: Brazil should export crude oil, buy refined products, and pay hefty dividends to its partners. Note: in 2008, Sardenberg claimed that the pre-salt reserves didn't exist.
