Gabrielli gets annoyed: "Where did you see that? What's the source?"
Former Petrobras president José Sérgio Gabrielli couldn't remain silent about the barrage of criticism he's been subjected to regarding the purchase of a refinery in Pasadena, United States, which apparently caused enormous losses for Petrobras. While accompanying Governor Jaques Wagner in reading the Executive's message to the Assembly, the Secretary of Planning for Bahia showed irritation with the news, but continues to say that the state-owned company itself should explain; "I'm not going to talk about this anymore!"

Despite trying to remain oblivious to the real media bombardment he's been suffering over an alleged... "disastrous management" At the helm of Petrobras, as Veja magazine recently stated, former president José Sérgio Gabrielli doesn't seem very happy with the... 'trophy' who won against journalist Eliane Cantanhêde, from Folha, for having "sank" the state-owned company.
'Focused' on making his name viable for the 2014 gubernatorial race against Jaques Wagner, according to sympathetic members of the Workers' Party, the Secretary of Planning for Bahia accompanied the head of the Executive branch to the Assembly for the traditional reading of the message to the Legislature. This time I couldn't escape questions about Petrobras.
The former all-powerful figure became somewhat irritated. "Where did you see that? What's the source? All the answers are on the Petrobras website. I'm not going to talk about this anymore!" This was in response to a question from reporter Erick Issa of the Metro 1 portal.
The latest bad news for Gabrielli was about the purchase of a refinery in Pasadena, in the United States, which apparently caused enormous losses for the state-owned company.
According to Bahia 247, through its press office, answer It was similar. However, it was delivered by his advisor.
"The secretary's instruction is that he will not speak to the press about anything related to Petrobras. He will talk about any other subject, but not about Petrobras. The secretary said that whoever speaks for Petrobras is Petrobras."
For pessimists, including those within the PT itself, the national-level "grilling" of Gabrielli is already beginning to weaken his chances of winning the internal battle to choose the candidate who will attempt to succeed Jaques Wagner.
While negative news about Petrobras swirls, the secretary prefers to focus on the Salvador-Itaparica Bridge, announced by Wagner to end the suffering of those who need to use the precarious ferry boat system. Will he be able to reach the Ondina Palace via the bridge?
