Presidente Lula visita o navio-sonda da Petrobras
[applause] Good afternoon everyone. It's a joy to be here with you. I will greet everyone, including our beloved president Luís Inácio Lula da Silva. Folks, the reason for our visit today was to tell you that we've made an oil discovery in Amapá. [applause] More than that, we made a discovery and got our hands on the oil. Sir , Mr. President, could you lend me your little sample? You're not going to take it away, are you? No. So, here's the oil to show everyone. [applause] This is real oil produced in the Morpho well, located 185 km from Oiapoque and 580 km from the mouth of the Amazon River. This well, you know, started being drilled in October of last year. We're still going to keep producing, uh, drilling this well all the way to the bottom. And he is part of our exploratory campaign in this offshore area of Amapá. This is an extremely relevant discovery for us because it demonstrates the continued position of Brazil and Petrobras as a significant oil producer. You know that nowadays we produce 80% of Brazil's oil from pre-salt. This pre-salt layer will have a peak production around 2034, 2035. And from then on, we need to replenish reserves so that we don't lose our position as one of the 10 largest oil producers on the planet, right? Today we are the seventh largest oil producer on the planet, but in the past we were importers of large quantities of oil. If we go back to 1984, for example, 48% of Brazil's imports were crude oil, and that represented a huge expense for Brazil . It was an enormous bill for the population to foot. It's a problem that we've solved over time. We became self-sufficient in oil in 2006 and 2008, and today, thanks to Pressal, this wealth has guaranteed us our first export product for the past two years. Everything indicates that this year we will once again have oil as our top export product, so losing that position would be a real shame, would n't it? And we like to say that there's no future for an oil company without exploration. That's what we're doing here in Amapá, a province that, to this day, all our studies indicate has quite significant potential, right? This discovery confirms our studies to this day, and we will continue exploring. This well is going to run dry in the next, maybe 15 or 20 days, right? Let's see when he finishes drilling; that will tell us when that well stops producing, when the drilling ends. But right after that we have to define the boundaries of this discovery, in other words, we have to know how much oil is actually in that area, right? And we will find out by continuing this exploration. And we have plans to drill three more wells in that block. We are waiting for this environmental permit. [applause] Besides, we have other wells to drill in the area in adjacent blocks, right? So, we have five more wells to drill. Besides this block, what is the BM FZA 59, right? In addition to those for this block, we have five more. And this exploratory effort is gigantic, right? That's what will tell us how much oil the equatorial margin offshore Amapá has to offer us, right? Everything indicates that it's going to be good, right? We are, we are extremely optimistic, and that's what we came to tell you, right? There's oil, there's been discovery, we just don't know how much yet. We will continue investing, we will continue exploring, and the future will tell how much Amapá can offer us. But we, in our pumpkin-colored overalls, are extremely optimistic about what we're finding around here. Save Petrobras, save Brazil, save Amapá. [applause] [applause] At this moment, the Minister of Mines and Energy, Alexandre Silveira, has the floor. [applause] Today, Mr. President, is a historic day for Brazilian women and men. Today, with this discovery, and here I must acknowledge the courageous spirit of this body of Petrobras employees, and especially at this moment with this leadership team of great women, particularly led by our colleague Magda. It's a joy, Magda, to work alongside you, to work alongside your board and president, and to say that they say you are a lucky man. Luck is a combination of hard work, great courage, and much divine blessing. This is what you have, thanks to your intention to improve the lives of all Brazilian women and men, especially the poorest Brazilians in this country. Therefore, today Brazil is taking a very important step to guarantee its energy sovereignty, to ensure that we continue to advance in the decarbonization of the energy matrix , but that we can be proud, as I said at Lemonde in France, of having 90% of our electricity clean and renewable, and 50% of the overall energy matrix. Therefore, no Brazilian in their right mind can relinquish their sovereignty and natural resources in order to combat poverty, fight hunger, and achieve development. And I also wanted to acknowledge and embrace the leadership of the president of the National Congress, Davi Columbri, who defends such important issues for Brazil, but so fiercely for his homeland, his beloved Amapá. Governor Clécio, a great friend, Senator Randolf, Minister Mira, our coordinator. In conclusion, and to say that's it, today is a day that all Brazilian women can celebrate. Because we are guaranteeing our energy sovereignty for the coming years. The whole world has always been engulfed in conflict, unfortunately, over energy, energy and minerals, especially at this moment the critical minerals in the age of electrification. And Brazil demonstrates with this latest achievement that it is a country that, under President Lula's leadership, has everything it needs to continue becoming a country of growth, development, and inclusion. Thank you very much. The floor is now open to the president of the National Congress and Federal Senate, Davi Alcolumbre. [applause] Good afternoon everyone. First, I want to thank God for the opportunity for us all to be here today, participating in this historic day, Minister Miriam, not only for Brazil, but for my Amapá. And today, in my capacity as President of the Federal Senate, Minister Alexandre Silveira, but above all President Lula, in my capacity as a native of Amapá who dreamed for many years that this day could happen. Allow me, President Lula, to make a reference to the struggle of our governor Clécio Luiz, the struggle of Senator Randolf Rodrigues, the unwavering defense of your government, Mr. President, on behalf of Mrs. Magua, and the Petrobras employees who defended this project, and to say to you, President Lula, in my capacity as a native of Amapá and as President of the National Congress, thank you very much for the defense you have made over the last three and a half years, facing everything and everyone to ensure that this project reached this point today with this discovery made by Petrobras, which should be the pride of all Brazilians. [applause] Recognition is doing justice, Mr. President. And it is necessary that we, once and for all, recognize in Brazil those who have faced causes that were often contested or even criticized, not only by Brazilians who do not understand the importance of having, as Minister Alexandre Silveira said, energy sovereignty in our country, but above all by those from other countries who, unfortunately, insist on wanting to, in one way or another, control the future of Brazil and the future of Brazilians. Under your leadership as President of the Republic and the defensive trench of the National Congress, we say once and for all, let us Brazilians, who fight for the defense of our Brazil, decide what we want for Brazil. And today is yet another demonstration in this discovery that we all know where we want to go. We know how oil wealth transforms people's lives, especially with the resources from the social fund that go to Brazilian public education and Brazilian public health . So, Mr. President, on behalf of the people of Amapá, on behalf of this piece of land in Brazil, in the far north of Brazil, we once again express our gratitude for facing this challenge, having under your leadership the protection of the defense of national sovereignty. Long live oil, long live Petrobras, long live the future of Brazil. Thank you very much. [applause] At this moment, we hear the governor of the state of Amapá, Clécio Luiz. Thanks. Good afternoon everyone. Good afternoon everybody. President Lula, what an honor to have you here with us, accompanied by the First Lady Janja, our dear President Magda and the entire Petrobras board of directors, women who control and manage Petrobras, Minister Miriam, my dear President Davi, Senator Randolf, Mayor Inácio, General Roberval, and everyone who is here with us. Hey, Minister Alexandre Silveira. Mr. President, since Friday we are still in a state of ecstasy following the official announcement of the oil discovery off the coast of Apa. I'm going to ask permission to replace the word that was most used and celebrated by all of us: discovery. And the president spoke here again. I'm just going to replace " discovery" with "confirmation," because we all always believed in and dreamed of this confirmation that came in the last few days. We have a lot of work ahead of us. And I want to use this word to say that the confirmation made from Friday onwards is not just [rumbling] about oil. This confirms, Mr. President, that Amapá is not just [snoring] or just another promise, it's a reality. Amapá is the future of its own people and of Brazil. And we talked about this on the plane. Never before has Paz felt so keenly the strength of the federal government, the presence, excuse the redundancy, of the federal government since its visit, the third visit to OAP in 3 and a half years, from the benefits of all the federal programs, from various achievements that we only reached because the helping hand of the federal government is much closer and more present in Pará Dois. The confirmation of the Union's strength, Mr. President, having you here alongside Davi, alongside Randolf, alongside Mayor Inácio, alongside Magda, alongside Minister Alexandre Silveira, alongside us, gives a beautiful lesson to Brazil and to the world, while many are cultivating a country in flames, bipolarized, we here with different political backgrounds. We from Amapá, together with you and the federal government, are giving a lesson that this union is a union that builds, a union that overcomes obstacles, a union that overcomes differences. Imagine if we hadn't created a favorable environment here in Noapá, Mayor Inácio, to be announcing this discovery and confirmation today. So here, Inácio, Randolf, and our Davi did a lot of hard work. We held a meeting with Petrobras inside the Coari indigenous village, discussing the issues with all the indigenous leaders from this northern region. And that was very important. This is building, this is work, this is unity. So, everyone here played a fundamental role. Randolf as the government leader, Davi as president of the Senate, President Magda, who was the president of NP when the auctions for these blocks were held here, and also, obviously, President Lula's determination to confront [the situation]. Well, I've been asked a few times, " Hey, but would n't it be better to let the COP pass and then issue this environmental license 10 days before the COP ?" Won't that overshadow the COP? I said: "No, President Lula is right, Brazil is right. We would be accused of fraud, of deception, if this license, which had already fulfilled all its requirements, were released after COP. We told the truth to Brazil and we told the truth to the world. Finally, Mr. President, the third great confirmation is that we will continue together [snoring] and working, Davi, Randolf, Inácio, so that this confirmation, this discovery, this wealth so important to the Brazilian economy, Minister Alexandre Silveira, so important to national sovereignty that we need to explain better what this is to the people. This confirmation will translate into real benefits in the lives of those who live here in Oiapoque, in Calsueni, in Jari, in Amapá and in Brazil. This is the great challenge, to transform this wealth into benefits that Brazilians, that Amapá residents feel at their table, in their homes and at their work. So, I am extremely happy for this historic moment, for this opportunity that God gives us to be here announcing this with this union." [Laughs] For Brazil, announcing the confirmation of the existence of oil, and excellent oil, off the Brazilian coast of Amapá. Thank you very much. Congratulations, Mr. President. Congratulations to Petrobras. Long live Petrobras. Long live Brazil! [laughter] Ladies and gentlemen, the floor is yours, President of the Republic, Luís Inácio Lula da Silva. I [applause] want to greet my dear friend Janja and tell you that when, during COP, we granted the license, we authorized Petrobras to conduct the research, I told J that when we found the first oil here in Amapá, I would bring her to see what a drilling rig is. So I'm keeping that promise. Secondly, I want to say to Governor Cléo, to the President of the Senate Davi Columbre, to my dear Miram Bequó, Chief of Staff, to my Minister Alexandre Cira, to Magra Chambriar, President of Petrobras, to the Petrobras directors who are here, to the employees of Petrobras, Mayor Inácio Maciel, and all of you from the press who are here. It was necessary for me to come here to prove a few things. First, it's impossible to imagine that an oil company can survive if it doesn't do research. In other words, there are things in the world that you only know if you research them. And researching means making an investment, an investment that you're not sure will yield results. It's like producing a vaccine, it's like producing any medicine. You make an investment, the professors meet, the doctors confer, and sometimes you spend 2 or 3 years trying to make a product, and when you test the product, it's not right. Even so, it was worth making the investment because it proved that it didn't work, and you'll try to do new research with new methodologies, with new materials. [snoring] Petrobras, since its creation, has had many ups and downs, right? You remember that Petrobras was only created because there was a lot of pressure from Brazilian society during the "The oil is ours" campaign. Because at that time there were many people who thought that Brazil didn't "We had oil, and therefore we should continue importing oil. Because there are many people in Brazil who have an inferiority complex, who think that Brazil never progresses. And when I say ' mongrel,' I'm not being offensive because I really like mongrels. If I have to get a puppy to raise, I'll get a mongrel, which is more friendly, more pleasant. And I already have three. I say 'mongrel' because there are people who don't respect themselves, because people who don't like to make an effort. How many presidents have you seen who have been at Petrobras for a long time, how many presidents of the Republic and how many presidents of Petrobras thought that Petrobras didn't have much of a future, that it needed to change its name, that it needed to start selling Petrobras assets? How many people? In 2003, when I took over the presidency, I bought a gas distribution company because I wanted our company, Petrobras, to sell its gas to this distributor to deliver it a little cheaper to the people. They simply sold the liquids. They simply sold refineries." They sold a refinery in Amadona, they sold a refinery in Bahia. They paralyzed a fertilizer factory in a country that imports 90% of its fertilizer. They closed a factory in Paraná, they closed a factory in Bahia, they closed a factory in Sergipe, and a factory that I left ready in Três Lagoas, which was also 15% away from completion. I'm going to start finishing it now, me and my colleague Magdas, because it's not possible for a country that imports 90% of its fertilizer not to be able to produce a portion. And only with these measures, right, Magda, will we reach 36% of what we consume, which is a very important step. I still dream of buying back the refinery they privatized. I dream of many things. I still dream because I want someone to explain to me what the Brazilian people gained from the privatization of BR, from the Bahia refinery, from the Amazonas refinery. I would like to know what the Brazilian people gained, because the guy who sold it should win the Nobel Prize for Fertilizer. Because these guys think they're good managers, that is, instead of being a good manager, [snoring] making things that don't work, they try to make things work by selling. In other words, in reality, they're good salesmen, not good managers. They demonstrate incompetence by not delivering results in what they're supposed to deliver. You put in a president, he doesn't have to show you the flaws, he has to show you a solution. Since 2002, I've been proving to this country that we can do much more than we've already done. I'm saying this so everyone can hear. The press in the countryside never heard because this is the first press conference I've given here in Abapaá, okay? But I remember when I decided to revive the Brazilian shipbuilding industry, I remember how many people at Petrobras, and at the time the president of Petrobras said he was a banker, said I was talking nonsense, that Brazil wasn't capable of producing ships. Brazil wasn't capable because there were no buyers. But when the Brazilian state is capable of becoming If a buyer comes through a Petrobras company that can't afford to spend its earnings on freight, we can build our own ships. We revived the shipbuilding industry, which went from less than 6,000 workers to 82,000 in 2014, and when we voted again, it only had 15,000 workers, and I think it's close to 80 again now. Because you just have to believe and do it. Importing is cheaper. It might be cheaper to import, but if Magda were only Petrobras, if she weren't Brazilian, if she didn't have a commitment to this country with 215 million inhabitants, she would say to me: "Mr. President, why do you want to build ships?" Why do you want to have a probe done? Mr. President, we import from Korea, which is cheaper; we import from China, which is more... oh, for Petrobras it's great, it will save 100 million dollars. And she now says, when we hire and scale up what we hire, they're already making it cheaper than if we bought it from outside. And we're doing a lot of it, because that 's the logical approach. The state needs to leverage its purchasing power to encourage domestic production. General, you know that I'm now, I'm determined to invest in the defense industry. Because I said the other day in a meeting with the military, the military ruled this country for 23 years. I imagined that when I became president I would find the Armed Forces highly prepared, armed to the 70s. When I arrived, General, I don't know how old you are, but when I arrived, the soldiers were dismissed at 11 pm because there wasn't money to pay for lunch. My commander was General Buquerk, who died. But look, the army was letting the employees go at 11 a.m. because they didn't have the money to pay for lunch. Not only did I make them work all day, but we paid them the minimum wage, which at the time wasn't enough for recruits, and we created a program for the citizen so that they would leave with a profession. The air force, my colleague the president of the Senate, the air force had four airplanes, two nicknamed "Sucatão" (Big Scrap) and two nicknamed "Sucatinha" (Little Scrap). Do you remember? Fernando Henrique Cardoso stopped flying the old, dilapidated plane because whenever it landed at the airport, more screws would fall off than anything else, and he had 14 mechanics on board to deal with screws and prepare the aircraft. I came to the conclusion that a country the size of Brazil wasn't possible , you know? The president has a plane nicknamed "Junker," you know? So we bought these planes, and then things started happening in this country, and we proved that investment was necessary for things to happen, and that's how it was. The Navy ships, the Air Force planes, the army battalion, the army's general staff that was bankrupt and that we recovered, we transformed it into a large road-building company, because the state also contracted them. And now comes Petrobras. Petrobras. Well, if Petrobras doesn't have a clear direction regarding the government's guidance—which is what should provide political direction—it no longer wants to do prospecting here in Brazil, because then there are those who are importers who want to say that importing is better, right? When imports opened up, 400 importers appeared in that country. So I think the best thing is always for us to produce the food we eat, because we'll generate jobs here, we'll generate salaries here , we'll generate development here , we'll generate genetic, technological, and scientific knowledge here. That's what's happening. Capetá, everyone here knows about the controversy surrounding Equatorial Brazil. I thought we had to cut down a tree so we could get oil. I find out that the distance is more than 500 km from the mouth of the Amazon, and I come here and travel 175 km further inland by helicopter, very scared, very scared. They gave me a vest that weighed more than I did. I said, "You know, if I don't open this life jacket, I'm going to sink." And I went there to see us extracting the oil. And you guys don't know how much this means to me personally, you have no idea. I was telling Magda that when she told me she had found oil, I felt the same sensation and the same emotion that I felt the day Zé Sérgio Gabriele and my dear friend Estrela came into my office in 2007 to announce that Petrobras had discovered pressure. [applause] That's something, this is a victory of common sense, it 's a victory for a government that believes companies need to do their research. And it's an achievement for a company that has a board of directors and a president who believe in its existence, because it's not just an oil company, but one whose essence is the issue of oil. And when the copy happened here last year, many people wanted me not to declare that I had obtained the license, because they said that the Europeans would be upset if I announced that I was going to look for oil because they wanted us to only talk about the end of fossil fuels. And I made the decision to announce before COP that we were going to do prospecting here, [applause] because what was at stake were the interests of the country and the interests of our company. And it's important that Amapá doesn't just become an exporter of açaí or roasted tucunaré fish. You never gave me any, neither did you, Governor. The only one who gave me so, so, so much here, you know? Do you know who my minister is? So I came here today, I'm going to take this home. I got everyone's back dirty, I got my hand dirty. This here, this here, I'll tell you what I said when I saw the presalt. The press had given me a slightly larger barrel. He knows? This is something I'm going to repeat. This could be called a passport. for the future of this country. And when I say passport to the future of this country, I'm not denying my fight so that one day we won't need to use fossil fuels, because the country will continue to be the king of innovation in biofuels [applause] and will continue to be very important in the area of renewable fuels. I went to the Hannover fair last year, which is last year , last year, which is the largest industrial fair in the world. I went there, General, taking our biodiesel to test a German truck along with its biodiesel to see which biofuel or diesel emitted less greenhouse gas. Tested by German technicians. Our oil emits 67% less greenhouse gases than [applause]. And now I leave here with the absolute certainty, Magda, that it was worthwhile to put you in charge of Petrobras. [applause] It was worth believing in your stubbornness, your insight, and your willingness to make things happen, without telling a single lie to anyone. And when I say that you 're helping to build the future of this country, it's because when we describe the pre-salt oil fields, we remove a social fund. Do you remember that we managed to raise, Mir 464 billion reais in the social fund? The nest egg is paid with social funds because it was only changed now in 2025; before that, do you know where the social funds were to make it exceed the primary budget? Who benefited from the social fund? The bankers who received the debt payments, you know? with the social background and we change. And now we finance homes for people who earn less, especially those in the lowest income bracket. We provided funding so that 7,002,000 young people in this country would not give up on their studies. We're currently funding, you know, money for home renovations. Anyone who doesn't want to buy a house, but wants to build a bathroom, a garage, a barbecue area, or a small room to invite me over for a barbecue, can go to the bank and borrow money from cheaper sources. Because if we don't do that, the country won't grow, the country won't develop. So, my comrades from Amapá, I'm here to say this: Amapá has an extraordinary opportunity. Whoever governs this state will have to worry about the emergence of real estate speculation here, because when Petrobras definitively announces that the oil is of excellent quality, I asked the machine, is it brand good? He said: "It's nothing more than a brand, it's BR with honors." In other words, it means that we're... you know how deep we're talking, folks? In general, 3,000 m of water depth and another 3,000 m of rock. We're already almost 6,000 meters up, and we still have 1,000 meters to go. So let's go down to 7,000 or 1,000 meters deep to determine the quality. Since the world is round, I just want Petrá to be careful so we don't end up in the other country, because if we keep moving forward, we might get there. So I want to congratulate my colleague Magda. It was worth it, my dear, to believe in you. It was worth it. It was worth it, Alexandre, for us to argue so much in our meetings, and it was worth it for you to raise your heads again at Petrobras, because you know that not long ago, with Lava Jato, the objective was to try to destroy two things: Petrobras and the construction companies in this country, and also to try to eliminate the possibility of me becoming President of the Republic. Here I am, here is Petrobras, and here is the Brazilian people, strong and steadfast, because this will bring wealth to the Brazilian people, it will bring wealth to Amapá. And I'm not saying that we won't be at the expense of the environment. Don't say it. Today I saw the, what's the machine called? BOP. BOP. BOP is the size of a six- story building. That's what they told me. It's a large machine that we buy. This machine goes down to the bottom of the sea, where the drilling begins. Whatever incident happens, if there's a leak like the one that happened in the Gulf of Mexico, you remember? When oil starts flowing all over the world, this machine called a BOP immediately shuts off the well. So that's what we have to tell people. Brazil is prepared to do much more and to do the things that the whole world needs to learn. That is why Petrobras is the company with the greatest competence and capacity to prospect for oil in deep waters. We don't want to push off, we want to go way down there. And what's important is to transform our oil, extracted from depths of 7,000 to 1,000 meters, into something almost the same price as Saudi Arabia's oil, which they practically grabbed with their bare hands. This is called Brazil, this is called Petrobras, this is called scientific and technological knowledge, this means competence. Therefore, my dear governor, I could not fail to come to Europe. I'm coming and I'm going to take my little drop. I could have brought more, but I had to get your clothes dirty, and I want to tell you, we will continue to take care of the environment. Brazil needs to know, Brazil needs to know that this state here, Brazil needs to know that 87% of this state is a reserve. 87%. And 90% of that territory is practically untouched forest, you know. And thank God we discovered this . We don't know what the final result will be, but the test is very promising. I dirtied the pre-salt worker's hand and I dirtied that other man's hand. This one looked like it had already been refined, it was so light. So light. If something is lightweight, it means it has value, because it has 8-pound oil, which is almost like a rock. We used to have 16 APIs in the pre-salt layer, and we've reached 32 APIs. And what's the maximum we can do ? About 40 PI. He knows? The concrete fact is that we have the chance to have very fancy, very high-quality oil to bless the future of your children, the future of this country. So, congratulations, Petrobras, congratulations, Governor. Congratulations, Senator Randolf. Congratulations, Senator, and congratulations, Mayor, and congratulations to Columbri. Moreover, this week saw a very important development for Brazil. This week I had a conversation with Senator Colubre and he sent three vitally important projects for Brazil to the committees, including the Security Amendment, because once the Security Amendment is approved , we will create the Ministry of Security. He also sent to the committee the bill to end the 6-day-on, 1-day-off schedule, so that people can work 5 days and rest two. And we also sent the bill that regulates critical minerals and rare earths, because this time we're not going to let anyone from outside try to exploit our minerals, because we want to process them here. We're going to have to send our young people to study, study, do engineering, do research in every way imaginable, because we want to develop this area, transform this area, and produce the important things in this country. This is how it will be given from now on. And I learned something I didn't know. Did you know that monitic sand? I often went to Espírito Santo to swim at the beach because I was told that Guarapari had monasitic sand, which was good for the body and for health. I learned that during World War II, the United States came here and took all of our monavite sand, which was already considered a rare earth element. And we didn't know. I read an article, do you know by whom? From that air force brigadier Oto, a long article telling the story of mosaic sand. And Brazil made an agreement with the United States that said Brazil could not sell to anyone else, only to the United States. And they're over there preparing their weapons, their weapons, while we're here just twiddling our thumbs. So now, no, we've gotten smarter. The country needed a metalworker without a doctorate to do what the Brazilian people need: recognition of this country and its people as a free and sovereign nation, making Petrobras stronger, paying employees better salaries, paying more taxes to the government, and finding more oil here and wherever we are needed. The president of Mexico, call me one of these days, she'll be president in Lule. J wanted to open with us, cordially, because J was presiding over Petrobras, over Petrobras. Why? To go to the Gulf of Mexico to try and find oil and deep waters. That's us! I called Magda. Magda, go to Mexico to meet with our president so we can, you know, help them get oil. And we're going to Africa too. Wherever the opportunity arises, go, because Petrobras can be the most important oil company in the world, the most important, [applause] you know? And yet, and still, we will continue working so that the world, you know, becomes unpolluted. Let's try working towards healthier, less polluting fuel, generating more jobs. So, my dears, with all due respect, congratulations. May God bless the people of MAP. May God grant you much health and wisdom , Magda Alexandre, and may you be able to coordinate your ministry competently, because I will be back again to share a little more of this here. I'm going to keep it in a safe, in a safe, okay? Because it 's so good, it smells so nice. I'm thinking about the benefits this could bring to this country. When we want to build more universities, more engineering, more mathematics, more digital intelligence, more full-time schools, and more investment in our sovereignty. This here means national sovereignty. A country that has oil of this quality is n't going to let anyone touch it . Hugs and good luck. [applause] At this moment, a video will be shown of our President, Luís Inácio Lula da Silva's, visit to the Petrobras drilling rig. Look, the emotion I feel here today is the same emotion I felt in 2007, when Detective Gabriel Estrela told me they had discovered pressure and here's my hand with the oil. You can find out when to invest if you do your research. It would have been better if Petrobras hadn't done the research. It's not that Petrobras hasn't invested so much money here that some who want to sell Petrobras think it 's a cost. For us, this is an investment. When Petrobras invests money in research and sometimes finds nothing, it was worthwhile because the research was done, and when they find something, it was twice as worthwhile. This is yet another way to secure a more peaceful future for Brazilian families. If President Trump wants to keep waging war with Iran and close the Strait of Hormuz, we will go here to the entire world and to the equatorial margin, 175 km from Earth. We're here in the middle of the bar discovering wonderfully pure oil. You know, maybe you'll even be able to fill up the car's tank and drive it around. Ku.
