Former Minas Gerais governor Romeu Zema (Novo), a presidential pre-candidate, released a video on social media outlining an economic plan that includes privatizing Petrobras and Banco do Brasil. Zema criticized the Lula government's spending and proposed reducing the size of the state through privatizations and public spending cuts.
The privatization of Brazilian state-owned companies is a historical platform of parties like Novo, which advocates for reducing the state's role in the economy. Zema had previously defended the sale of state companies during his term as governor of Minas Gerais, successfully completing the privatization of Copasa.
