Francisco Petros, representative of minority shareholders on the Petrobras Board of Directors, proposes, in a letter, to be a mediator in the crisis that broke out between the state and the federal government.
According to the document, obtained by the CNN in 45 days, while a working group would work to discuss the matter, Petrobras would freeze prices, and the government, in turn, would withdraw nominations from the command of the state-owned company.
These are the main conditions pointed out by the minority shareholders of the Board of Directors. “We believe that what is proposed here can restore a healthy environment for Petrobras’ institutional relationship with its main shareholder, as well as restore normality in management in the search for useful solutions for Brazil, its institutions and society, companies and all Petrobras stakeholders”, says an excerpt from the document.
THE CNN found that the initiative has already received support from other members of the Board of Directors, because it could “put a lid on the crisis that broke out between Petrobras and the federal government, which took shape in recent hours with strong statements by the president of the Chamber, Arthur Lira (PP) , and a request for explanations from the STF minister, André Mendonça.
Petrobras announced this Friday (17) a new adjustment in fuel prices. Gasoline rose 5.18%, while diesel had a price increase of 14.26%.
As of this Saturday (18), gasoline will vary by R$0.15 per liter, while diesel will vary by R$0.63 per liter.
