Valente accuses those who sell out the country of being liars.
"The parliamentary majority that supported the coup is the same one that is now handing over the oil wealth. They claim that Petrobras doesn't have the money to invest. Liars! The research, the location, the mapping of the pre-salt layer was done for Petrobras. Now, when it's time for the bonus, they hand it over to foreigners. Traitors of the nation," said the PSOL deputy.
SP 247 - Federal deputy Ivan Valente (Psol-SP) strongly criticized politicians who support the bill proposed by his colleague in the House, José Carlos Aleluia (DEM-BA), which allows Petrobras to sell up to 70% of its pre-salt reserves.
"The parliamentary majority that supported the coup is the same one that is now handing over the oil wealth. They claim that Petrobras doesn't have the money to invest. Liars! The research, the location, the mapping of the pre-salt reserves was done for Petrobras. Now, when it's time for the bonus, they hand it over to foreigners. Traitors of the nation," the parliamentarian wrote on Twitter.
The congressman had already stated that "the vote on the bill for the onerous transfer of pre-salt oil fields to foreign oil companies, whose rapporteur is the privatization advocate Aleluia, is submissive, anti-national, and anti-popular." "Handing over 70% of 5 billion barrels to multinationals where billions of national investments were made."
