Centrão leaders celebrated as a asset for the expansion of power over the government and the increase of influence on public funds, at a time of the president’s (PT) popularity.
Already on Saturday night (1st), after AE of for the Presidencies of the Senate and the House of Representatives, allies of the duo discussed scenarios of a possible redesign of the government and parliamentarians.
Strengthened, group leaders began to defend a shock in the Lula management structure, which could include the reduction of PT weight in the so -called Planalto Palace Kitchen, responsible for the government coordination.
Representatives of these parties have warned that a simple accommodation of their subtitles at Lula’s ministry is not enough to ensure adherence to all projects of government interest in Congress and, even less, to ensure support for a Lula candidacy for reelection in 2026.
For these parties to expand alignment with the government and then climb the petista stage, Lula would need to reorganize the government and recover popularity – the government’s primary challenge at this time.
Centrão leaders express resistance to densifying their participation in the petista’s mandate at a time of falling the president’s assessment rates. The argument is that with this movement they would risk their political capital between right -wing voters.
A member of the House summit points out that, currently, deputies and senators are already “budget units”, thanks to the significant increase in parliamentary amendments, and that they are no longer dependent on the government’s strength to supply their electoral strongholds. Therefore, the resumption of power over the amendments, the target of blocking of the Supreme Court, sounds even more urgent than a ministerial reform.
These findings are interpreted, both in the government and in the centrão itself, as a legitimate diagnosis of the political framework, but also as an argument to broaden Congress’s bargaining power in the negotiation of positions in the first level.
A leader of these parties states that the idea of participation in Lula’s team is not fully discarded because there are chances of reelection of the president in 2026, especially in the face of the possibility of a right crack.
With this scenario, Lula’s allies claim that he already admits, in reserved conversations, the need to make a broader gesture for these parties, with a more comprehensive ministerial reform. For this, it could be necessary to sacrifice close allies and the PT itself.
This Monday (3), Lula will start a new round of political conversations. In the afternoon, he will meet with the president of the PT, (PR), who must. There is an expectation that Lula also receives Alcolumbre and Hugo.
The president would have signaled the intention to re-register the chief minister of the Secretariat of Institutional Relations, (PT), in Health. Lula has been demonstrating dissatisfaction with the performance of the current holder, Nísia Trindade, although resisting to fire it. Padilha would be a natural substitute because it has already held the position in the Government (PT).
If the exchange is made, Lula would change in Planalto’s kitchen. The ministry responsible for political articulation could be with a non -petista. The most quoted today would be the minister (ports and airports), from Republicans, party of Hugo Motta.
A, due to the good relationship he maintains with Hugo and alcohubre.
Discussions in the government to expand ties with center and center parties reflect critical behavior of leaders of these legends in relation to the government. The most emblematic case is the PSD, whose president, Gilberto Kassab, said last week that Lula would not win a new term if the election took place now.
In this logic, the Senate President (PSD-MG) for Lula’s ministry gained more strength. Emponsaries even claimed to him the Justice Folder, but the president would not like to take office the current holder ,.
The Ministry of Mines and Energy, currently controlled by Alexandre Silveira (PSD), could be a destination for Pacheco. The Ministry of Development, Industry and Commerce, occupied by the deputy (PSB), would also be the target of interest, which would still depend on a negotiation with Alckmin.
Within the strategy of attracting the center, there is an expectation of negotiation with the former mayor (PP-AL), who is credited with Hugo’s performance in the election to the home.
According to Lula’s allies, the president has the opinion that Lira did not impose so many obstacles to the government’s agenda in the House and, therefore, the possibility of his appointment to a ministry such as agriculture would not be ruled out, even though the work of the current Minister, Carlos Fávaro (PSD), be well evaluated.
The president of Republicans, (SP), is also quoted in the bookmaker. Government members evaluate that he would help the government approach the evangelical segment, as well as being a signal to the party itself.
President’s interlocutors cite a reallocation, considered very likely, by the Minister of Science and Technology, Luciana Santos (PC do B), for the women’s portfolio. It would be proof that Lula is willing to reduce the space of a historical ally in chess that could accommodate center parties.
The design was sketched by the realization of the strengthening of the center. Developed in the heat, the model can be reviewed, as has happened in discussions of past ministerial reforms.
Lula has insisted for the ministers of Northeast states to work to reverse a trend of falling their approval in the region – which has been a matter of concern for the president. Allies of the president claim that the reform should consume another 15 days.
