A VIABILIDADE DE DESESTATIZAÇÃO DA EMPRESA BRASILEIRA DE CORREIOS E TELÉGRAFOS

Abstract

The main purpose of this investigation is evaluating the feasibility of privatization of the Brazilian Post and Telegraph Company, especially from the neoliberal understanding of reducing the direct intervention of the State in the economy, from the constitutional forecasts to the recent Declaration of Rights of Freedom Economical. From this platform, the idea of state subsidiarity would be operationalized in terms of direct intervention, relegating economic activity more and more to private individuals. Certainly, ECT is one of the oldest state-owned companies in the country, with a relevant historical and social role in the Brazilian population. ECT still maintains, until the present day, the postal monopoly, confirmed by the STF in ADPF 46, which gives it a different treatment, in some points close to the Public Treasury. The privatization of the company, in another way, brings to the discussion precisely its social role, sometimes deficient in financial terms, which is incompatible with the private exercise of the activity. Thus, an analysis that is limited to compliance with the National Privatization Program (Law 9.491/1997) and the Investment Partnership Program (Law 13.334/2016) would not be enough, and it is prudent to question the intact continuity of its function before society. The work is developed from a deductive method and bibliographic research.
