He also pointed out that the company was the ‘operating arm“of the Brazilian electricity sector.”Everyone knows my position on privatisation. The strategic sector for the country’s security, including food and energy, such as the electricity sector of a country, especially with a territorial dimension such as the Brazilian one, should not be privatized“, He added.
