Information published by media sources on Monday (30/05) reveals that the Federal Government is contemplating a R$ 400 social aid to help truck drivers. Political and economic commentators say that faced with the prospect of diesel shortages in the second half of this year, central authorities have been trying to prevent the fuel crisis from compromising the election year.
