Lula tests a new culinary venture at Petrobras: the collective kitchen. Jean Paul Prates, the president of the state-owned company, was being dissolved on the back burner in Rui Costa's Civil House. It was estimated that it would come to a boil at the end of the year.
Speaking in an interview with Folha, Alexandre Silveira pushed him into the hot oil. Well past, Jean Paul told reporter Mônica Bergamo that he would ask for a “definitive conversation” with Lula. It went to the microwave.
Jean Paul will have the intended meeting with Lula. But he will arrive at the conversation pulverized. It turned to dust the moment Rui Costa, Alexandre Silveira and Fernando Haddad decided, in a meeting attended by the head of the state-owned company in his absence, to distribute the R$43.9 billion in extraordinary dividends from Petrobras that were withheld on March 7.
