The decision of the CNPE (National Council of Energy Policy) was political, non-economic, and will be, says the president of the Parliamentary Front of Agriculture, Federal Deputy Pedro Lupion (PP-PR).
The sector argued that the percentage will rise to 15%, but the government decided to wage the increase.
In a statement, the president of the FPA calls the “delay to Brazil” measure in terms of energy transition because it also contradicts the “environmental flag raised by the Lula government itself.”
“As president of the Parliamentary Front of Agriculture, I consider the decision of CNPE as a political decision, not economic,” he says. “And this is how it will be treated: through tireless combat in the National Congress, this is a democratic forum, open to dialogue and the participation of organized society in decision -making processes.”
The deputy states that the decision of the board returns the protein sector “to the times of unpredictability and legal insecurity”, which “delays investments, generates costs to industry and consumer, besides interrupting the process of economic and social development within the interior of Brazil.”
According to him, these issues had been resolved in the fuel law of the future, but now they were raised again after the “untimely decision” of the Lula administration.
“This is a serious decision that will bring political and economic consequences to the country, mainly because, once again, the agricultural sector has not been heard by the federal government representatives, as soybean and biodiesel prices have been falling consistently In the last month, “he says.
Lupion states that the measure is an attempt by Lula to “fix his popularity”, but points out that, with the decision, the government also ignored the positive effects of the increase in biodiesel production on the economy, the environment, health and agriculture familiar.
