Hours after Bolsonaro announced a package of up to R$50 billion to try to reduce fuel prices, this Monday (6th), truck drivers again expressed their impatience.
Wallace Landim, the Cry, one of the main leaders of the great strike of 2018, said the government is trying to solve a complex problem with “a tabajara solution”.
He says that fuel prices will continue to rise and the measure is a palliative that should precede further increases in diesel. And he went back to talking about stopping the country. For Chorão, Bolsonaro is worried about his re-election.
Another leader among the drivers, José Roberto Stringasci, president of ANTB (National Transport Association of Brazil), said that the government’s package to temporarily cancel the PIS/Cofins and Cide rates is nothing more than a political move. He continues to ask for a change in Petrobras’ pricing policy.
