Governor Otaviano Pivetta (Republicans) aimed the rotary machine gun at Senator Wellington Fagundes (PL) during the Aprosoja-MT event “Agricultura em Pauta”, held today (20). When talking about the importance of the works on the BR-163 highway, Pivetta recalled the senator's management history in relation to the National Department of Transport Infrastructure (DNIT).

"Do you know who was in charge of DNIT over the last 20 years? Lula, Dilma and Temer's government... And the best thing Bolsonaro did for Mato Grosso was to remove this guy from command of DNIT. You know who he is, right? He's here", said Pivetta, under the gaze of the audience of rural producers.

The governor pointed to the highway as one of the “most emblematic” works, highlighting the high number of fatal accidents that occurred on the stretch before the state intervention.

Despite not having held an official position at DNIT, according to Pivetta, Wellington Fagundes had a long political career in Brasília, with a strong presence in the area of infrastructure and transport. For decades, the senator would have played a central role of influence in defining policies and strategic positions in federal bodies linked to the logistics sector in Mato Grosso, being frequently appointed as the main articulator of these authorities in the state in successive federal governments.
