The governor of the Federal District, Celina Leão (PP), took advantage of a meeting with district deputies last Wednesday (15) to talk about the situation at (Banco de Brasília) and complain about the pressure to privatize the bank.
Celina said at the meeting that she will fight hard to prevent this from happening and that she will do everything she can to save the state bank. According to her, BTG Pactual would be one of those interested.
In recent months, amid the disruption caused by fraud, a proposal to federalize the BRB was mooted, but members of the federal government ruled out the measure.
BRB members say that the governor, in fact, has been committed to saving the bank. Behind the scenes, what is said is that if the government is unable to cover the BRB gap, Celina Leão will pay the bill in this year’s elections.
The governor’s allies remember, however, that she was not at the forefront of negotiations with the Master bank. At the time, he even commented to those closest to him that buying the wallets could be a shot in the foot.
Later, investigations showed that the portfolios acquired by BRB were, for the most part, fraudulent. The state bank’s loss exceeds R$6 billion.
