247 - The power outage that occurred on Tuesday (15) throughout the country - with the exception of Roraima - has once again brought the privatization of Eletrobras to the forefront of the agenda, a move that has been heavily criticized since its completion during the Jair Bolsonaro (PL) administration. President Lula (PT) has even made multiple public statements against the privatization of the company, describing the process as a "crime against the homeland" during an interview with TV 247.On social media, numerous internet users, including politicians, took advantage of Tuesday's blackout to highlight the damages that the privatization of Eletrobras has caused to Brazil and its citizens.
