PT wants Congressional oversight of fuel prices – 03/13/2026 – Panel

With the war in , PT leaders articulated a series of measures in the National Congress focusing on price monitoring and even defended the re-nationalization of BR Distribuidora.

One of the measures under study is to propose the creation of an external commission to monitor the fuel sector market.

The idea came to light after President Lula Poté reset PIS and Cofins on fuel.

Some parliamentarians do not rule out even proposing one to investigate and investigate gas cartels across the country.

Government officials are also beginning to collect signatures to create the “Parliamentary Front in Defense of the Renationalization of BR Distribuidora”. 171 signatures are required.

In this case, the idea is to show the effects of the privatization of the company, currently Vibra Energia, under the Bolsonaro administration. Government officials will insist that the measure ends energy security and poses risks to the national supply.

Leaders must also submit requests to hold public hearings in two Chamber committees to hear experts and public authorities on the topic.
