President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT) charged, this Friday (4), more supervision by the competent agencies so that discounts on the price of gasoline sold at gas stations are passed on to consumers.
“It is necessary that these bodies that have the function of overseeing does not allow any gas station in this country to sell gasoline more expensive than what the price it has wants to sell, let alone diesel. It is not possible that Petrobras announce the discount of a penny and this discount does not reach the consumer,” he said.
