Brazilian politician Flávio Bolsonaro publicly denied rumors of Petrobras privatization, framing them as a campaign tactic to undermine his leadership after the first round. The statement is a political rebuttal rather than a policy announcement, with no official government confirmation. This matters as it signals potential market sensitivity to privatization speculation in Brazil's state-owned oil sector.
