The crisis at the Post Office has reached a historic point: for the first time in the world, a state-owned postal service company is facing bankruptcy without any direct competition. Experts point out that the situation is the result of decades of mismanagement, misguided political decisions, and the growing inability of the company to modernize in the face of the logistical demands of the 21st century.
Under Lula's government, the expectation was for recovery and modernization of the service, but budget cuts, delays in technological investments, and the maintenance of inefficient structures have accelerated the collapse. Meanwhile, millions of Brazilians are facing delays in deliveries, increased tariffs, and uncertainty about the continuity of essential services. Analysts claim that the bankruptcy of the Post Office highlights not only administrative problems but also the fragility of monopolistic models when there is no market pressure for innovation and efficiency.
