Lula diz que Congresso pode melhorar MP do setor elétrico, 'piorar jamais'
Lula destaca a importância de aprimorar a Medida Provisória do setor elétrico, enfatizando a necessidade de justiça tarifária. Ele defende que medidas devem beneficiar as famílias e pequenos empresários, tornando a energia mais acessível e competitiva.
President Lula stated that Congress may "improve" the electricity sector Provisional Measure (MP), but "never worsen." He emphasized that the government does not hold the "primacy" to create a perfect text and acted based on its "intelligence."
During the MP signing on Wednesday (21), attended by Ministers and legislative leaders, Lula expressed that the text aims to achieve "tariff justice" in Brazil.
He noted that lower-income individuals and the middle class face higher electricity costs under the regulated market than those in the free market, typically businesses.
Conversely, he pointed out that small entrepreneurs pay more for energy than larger consumers, affirming the need for fairness in this essential service.
The president also highlighted that the MP intends to ensure greater freedom for consumers, increase competition among energy sources, and enhance balance within the sector.
"We want electricity to be more accessible and cheaper for families and small business owners," Lula concluded.
