Port of Santos privatization still up to debate, say Sao Paulo governor
Apr, 10, 2023 Posted by Gabriel MalheirosWeek 202318
The governor of São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas, said, on Monday, April 10, that the federal government is open to continuing the dialogue regarding the privatization of the Port of Santos. For Tarcísio, the hint is that the port was not included in the decree issued by the federal government on Friday, April 7, which removed Brazil’s Postal Service and other state-owned companies from the national privatization plan.
“The port is a federal asset; its privatization does not depend on us. Yet, the federal government has opened space for us to dialogue. The port was not part of the decree that removed some companies from the privatization program. It is a sign that the future of the Port of Santos is still up to debate,” assessed the governor during an event that marked the first 100 days of his administration.
The privatization of the Port of Santos is defended by Tarcísio but is opposed by the Lula government.
The governor has had periodic meetings with federal management to promote the privatization, which was underway in the Bolsonaro government.
