Lula will honor Sarney for the North-South railroad – 06/13/2023 – Panel

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) will pay homage to former president José Sarney (MDB) this Friday (16) at the inauguration of the last stretch of the North-South railroad, a work begun during his mandate.

Lula telephoned the emedebista and invited him to participate in Rio Verde (GO) in the inauguration of the stretch, whose construction began 36 years ago. Sarney accepted the invitation. The petista will make a speech extolling the strategic vision of the then president.

Norte-Sul is a railroad whose history goes back to the 1980s. On May 13, 1987, the Sheet published a report by Janio de Freitas that showed that the competition for the construction of the railroad had been a farce. In encrypted form, the results of the winning companies had been published five days earlier.

In addition, by 2017 the railroad had already consumed R$ 28 billion in amounts corrected for inflation and control and inspection bodies estimated that at least a third had been overpriced.
Five years earlier, the PF (Federal Police) launched an operation that revealed corruption in the works carried out by Valec, the state-owned company that held the railroad concession.
