President Jair Bolsonaro said this Monday (22) that the government has been working for the privatization of companies like Correios and Eletrobras and, remembering that a good part of them depends on the approval of the National Congress, he complained that the processes are not moving forward.
Questioned by a supporter upon returning to Palácio da Alvorada, the president said that the privatization process does not consist of “putting it on the shelf” and advertising to buyers.
“Most of them pass through the Parliament. We are fighting for the Post Office, for Eletrobras… It’s not going,” he said.
Eletrobras last week updated the schedule for its privatization, now forecasting that the “follow-on” operation will take place until May of next year.
The bill that deals with the privatization of Correios is pending a vote in the Senate’s CAE (Economic Affairs Commission).
