The President () probed the president of his party, (PR), about the possibility of taking a ministry in the reform that should be started from next week, with the end of the election to the command of the House and Senate.
He called Gleisi for two conversations last week. In one of them, he stated that his name was being defended to the ministry. According to reports, the president asked if she would consider this hypothesis.
The president of the PT would have said, in response, that the President of the Republic does not invite, mandates. But he recalled his performance on social networks, with criticism of the policy led by the Minister of Finance, (PT).
Interlocutors Gleisi denies that it has already been invited. But the expectation, among Lula’s allies, is that she assumes the General Secretariat of the Presidency, which has among her attributions the relationship with social movements. Confirmed the invitation, Gleisi will be at the Core of the Lula administration, participating in central decisions alongside the Secretary of Communication, and the Minister of the Civil House (PT).
In the Planalto Palace, she would thicken the team of critics of the fiscal austerity policy, classified as “austericide” in a PT document. His name was quoted for social development.
The political strengthening strategy in the president’s so -called “kitchen” would also include the replacement of the Minister of Institutional Relations (PT). This change would depend on the departure of a woman from the government: Minister of Health, who would be succeeded by Padilha.
The president’s interlocutors have questions about his willingness to dismiss Nisia, reducing the number of women in his team. But they argue that Gleisi’s appointment would mitigate this reduction.
Padilha’s name has already been mentioned for the defense. But Lula’s allies claim that the president has insisted for the portfolio, José Múcio, to remain in office until the end of 2025.
For the place of Padilha, the MDB leader in the house, Isnaldo Bulhões (AL), repeating the model already adopted by Lula when the government’s articulation was in charge of José Múcio, in the 2000s. Today in defense, he was affiliated with PTB.
But there is also doubts that Lula remove the articulation from the hands of the PT, which leads to speculation around the government leaders in the House, José Guimarães (CE), and the Senate, (BA), for the mission.
In conversations, Lula warned Gleisi that in addition to the resignation of Paulo Pimenta da Secom, the party should lose at least one more folder: of women. Through the Betting Scholarship, Minister Cida Gonçalves would be replaced by the current Minister of Science and Technology, Luciana Santos, from PC do B.
Its place would be reserved for a center party, such as the PSD. Allied parties leaders claim greater space for the House PSD. In the drawing at Lula’s table, is also the proposal to accommodate the presidents of the Chamber, Arthur Lira (PP-AL), and the Senate, (PSD-MG).
The ministerial suggested by the dome to accommodate Lira in the first level of the Lula administration.
The plan that has been discussed by the likely future mayor, (-PB), provides that Lira will occupy the Ministry of Agriculture, today led by licensed senator Carlos Fávaro, which is from the PSD.
The Kassab Party – which today is part of the Secretariat of the Governor of São Paulo, (Republicans) – is against and seeks another configuration.
In the combo taken to the Planalto Palace by the House summit, the PSD leader at the House, Antonio Brito (BA), would be named in social development, a portfolio today led by petista Wellington Dias (PI).
Brito, however, informed the group that he would not accept this invitation, although he told them to have the dream of commanding the social area. The response of the House bench leader was preceded by conversations with the PSD summit.
Wellington Dias’s return to the Senate would take the place of the alternate, who is from the PSD.
In the surroundings of the president, the idea that he needs to recompose the base with a view to the presidential succession of 2026. This argument gains strength at the time when surveys register a drop in approval by the Lula administration.
