Even members of the PSDB party who supported the coup are now calling for Parente's head.
Senator Cássio Cunha Lima (PSDB-PB) said that the first step to resolving the fuel price crisis is to dismiss the current president of Petrobras, Pedro Parente, due to his refusal to change the company's pricing policy; furthermore, he stated that the country is in Petrobras's hands; "The way things are going, it seems that soon the president of Petrobras will appoint the president of the Republic," he said.
Infomoney - In a video for the Poder360 portal, the vice-president of the Senate, Cássio Cunha Lima (PSDB-PB), said that the first step to resolve the fuel price crisis is to fire the current president of Petrobras, Pedro Parente, because of his refusal to change the company's pricing policy.
Furthermore, he stated that the country is in the hands of Petrobras. "The way things are going, it seems that soon the president of Petrobras will appoint the president of the Republic," he said, reinforcing that Brazil cannot tolerate the policy of daily fuel price adjustments.
Finally, another change he suggested is bringing back the Renova Bio program, which promotes renewable fuels produced within the country. The program was "abandoned" in recent years after the discovery of the pre-salt oil reserves.
