Former Chief Minister of Bolsonaro Civil House proposed the extinction of state-owned companies in Brazil, suggesting that saved resources were redirected to priority areas such as education and infrastructure
During an event in the National Confederation of Commerce, the senator made blunt statements about the Brazilian economy, claiming to be more radical than the Argentine president. Nogueira proposed the extinction of state -owned companies in Brazil, suggesting that saved resources were redirected to priority areas such as education and infrastructure. Former Jair Bolsonaro government chief of the Government Civil House expressed his frustration for not being able to advance with administrative reform due to internal resistance. In his view, the state should be as little as possible, and state -owned companies should be transformed into a large sovereign background.
Nogueira also spared no criticism of the Brazilian right, accusing many of its members of being statizers and corporativists. He compared his stance to Javier Milei, who assumed the presidency of Argentina in 2023 with a bold spending cut plan, known as “motorcycle.” However, political analysts question Nogueira’s radicality, pointing out that his political history does not match his statements. The senator is often seen as a typical century parliamentary, and his speech is considered by some as an attempt to align with the fashion of privatization and reduction of the state.
The discussion about the privatization of state -owned companies in Brazil is complex and polarizing. While some advocate the privatization of deficit companies, such as Aerolíneas Argentinas, others argue that the state must keep profitable companies under its control. The debate intensifies with the comparison between state management by liberal and progressive governments, alleging that the former tend to generate profit, while the second, damage. However, the central issue seems to be the administration of states, rather than its mere existence.
