The Workers' Party (PT) is going to the Attorney General's Office to file complaints against Temer and Parente over the fuel crisis.
Members of the Workers' Party (PT) caucus in the Federal Chamber filed a request this Thursday, the 7th, with the Attorney General's Office (PGR) to open an investigation against Michel Temer and the president of Petrobras, Pedro Parente. The document points to the fuel price adjustment policy, which led to chaos in the country last week, the change in Petrobras's bylaws that holds the federal government responsible for any losses to the company, and the policy of idle Brazilian refineries as facts to be investigated. "We could instantly lower the price of diesel by R$ 0,38 without spending anything, and still generating jobs!", says the request to the PGR.
247 - Members of the PT (Workers' Party) caucus in the Federal Chamber filed a request this Thursday, the 7th, with the Attorney General's Office (PGR) to open an investigation against Michel Temer and the president of Petrobras, Pedro Parente.
The complaint cites as justification Pedro Parente's fuel pricing policy, which has led Brazil to chaos in recent weeks and caused losses of over R$ 75 billion in various sectors of the economy.
The document also details the Attorney General's investigation into the change to Petrobras's bylaws, which holds the federal government responsible for any potential losses to the company, and the policy of underutilizing Brazilian refineries, enabling the importation of diesel oil from other countries, harming the Brazilian people, Petrobras, the federal government, and the states, with recessionary impacts and reduced tax revenue.
"While the agreement made by the Representatives [Michel Temer and Pedro Parente] with the truck drivers will cost R$ 10 BILLION that will come out of the pockets of the Brazilian people to lower the price of diesel by R$ 0,46, we could instantly lower the price of diesel by R$ 0,38 without spending anything, and even generating jobs!", says the request to the Attorney General's Office.
The petition is signed by the PT leader in the Chamber of Deputies, Paulo Pimenta, and by deputies Henrique Fontana, Wadih Damous, Carlos Zarattini, and Patrus Ananias.
