Lula: The Brazilian voter saved critical minerals from being sold at 'banana prices' President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said, this coming Thursday (5), that the Brazilian people, in his re-election, promised that the country's critical minerals would not be supplied at "banana prices" for the benefit of individual profits to the detriment of the collective. The statement was made at the first meeting of the recently formed National Council for Critical and Strategic Minerals Industrialization (CIMCE) to align the National Policy on Critical and Strategic Minerals (PNMCE), which was set to be installed on Wednesday (4). "This day has been dreamed of for a long time. If the country is not controlled by serious people, these things are sold at a bargain price, because the profit is not collective. This is from a person who wants to sell. On that occasion, the official list of critical and strategic minerals was approved. According to the Minister of Civil Affairs, Miriam Belchior, the government has identified 27 mines with these definitions in the national territory.
