The President of the Republic, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silvasaid on Monday (17) that the population is “robbed” by the intermediaries in the fuel distribution chain. He argued that Petrobras sell diesel, gasoline and gas directly to large consumers.
Lula made the statements in Angra dos Reis (RJ) in a ceremony that announced bidding for the purchase of ships for Transpetro.
“The people do not know that gasoline leaves Petrobras at $ 3.04, and that in the bomb it is sold at $ 6.49. That is, it is sold for twice what it comes out of Petrobras. But when the increase comes out, the people think it was Petrobras that increased. And it is not always Petrobras, because each state and each post are free to increase when it wants. And the taxes paid are ICMS for the states, such as ICMS he had now, ”said the petista.
“Diesel oil leaves Petrobras at $ 3.77, and the guy will fill the tank and pays $ 6.20,” said the President of the Republic. “The most serious is the price of gas. The people do not know that the 13kg gas canister leaves from Petrobras at $ 35, ”said Lula. “People are in the background, in the background, robbed by the intermediary. And fame is on the back of the government, ”said Lula.
“The people pay the triple price he leaves from Petrobras. And I was telling Magda that it is important to inform the population of this. For people to know who cursing at the time it increases, for the people to know who is the mother of the mother of this, ”said Lula.
The price of fuel is among the main concerns of the President of the Republic, which goes through a moment of low in its popularity.

Lula also stated that there will be an attempt to privatize Petrobras every time “the people vote wrong.”
According to him, it is necessary that his supporters have the courage to defend what they believe, otherwise the state -owned company may be sold by another government in the future.
The president also stated that there is no more efficient company than Petrobras, and defended the national content policy to buy equipment by the company. “We will continue to build a ship, we will continue to build probe, we will continue to build a platform,” said the head of government.
