Under a new direction in Congress, Centrão members want to take advantage of those of the government to wear out the figure of one of the main ministers, the head of, (PT).
Although the minister’s ability to leave, the center’s investe is for changes in his relationship with Congress.
In the House, for example, the assessment is that Rui had a more fluid dialogue channel with the former mayor (-al), who.
According to allies, this will not be repeated, however, with the newly elected mayor, (-PB). Also in, there is dissatisfaction with Rui’s work since the end of last year, especially with the impasse on the payment of.
Centrão members even claim that the government will only be able to solve their coordinating problems if the minister leaves the Civil House. A cardinal from the group defended Rui’s trip to A, being replaced by a name such as the Minister of Finance, (PT).
The farm holder is praised by the Congress summit, which points out Rui as a frequent protagonist of political disputes with Haddad. The centrão to the head of the economic team.
The charge for a way out of Rui is actually interpreted as a form of pressure from the center so that Lula makes changes in Congress’s political relationship. The Minister of the Civil House, after all, is well evaluated by the president and considered a central piece for the operation of his government.
Centrão’s frictions with him began to gain body in mid -2024 and intensified at the end of the year. In August, at a meeting at the headquarters of the (Federal Supreme Court), which brought together members of the three powers to discuss the amendments ,.
According to reports, the minister used the term “crack” to describe the sharing of bench amendments (mode in which parliamentarians of a state direct money to their regions).
Although the statement did not definitely shake their relationship, Lira reacted and stated strikingly that it rejected the use of the expression to address the subject.
For his performance at the meeting, Rui was characterized as an opponent of Congress’s interests in budget execution. The minister’s interlocutors say that this perception is unfair and that the payment of these resources does not depend on the action of the Civil House.
In December, there was a new friction between him and the Congress. Rui was against the spending containment package, which annoyed the congressional summit.
In the specific case of Motta, allies of the mayor point out that the Minister of the Civil House worked to postpone the announcement of.
Throughout the dispute for support in Congress, Rui signaled sympathy for a candidate of his state, Bahia: sometimes the leader of the PSD, sometimes the leader of União Brasil ,.
In another moment of tension, House leaders say they had waited hours for a meeting with Rui at the Planalto Palace that did not occur. One of them said the minister would receive a change for it.
Already the allies of the President of the Senate, (União Brasil-AP), attribute to Rui what would be a double of the Planalto Palace with the minister, to wage the payment of amendments.
These same interlocutors of the Senate president remember Rui’s good relationship with the Minister of Mines and Energy, (PSD) – today pointed as an obstacle of interests of senators, for example, in nominations for the direction of regulatory agencies.
At a meeting, alcohubre and his predecessor (PSD-MG), they even told Lula that Silveira no longer represented them in the terrace of ministries.
More broadly, parliamentarians still complain about the concentration of government’s decisions in the Civil House, which would slow down the official actions, as well as Rui’s hard style in the day -to -day deal.
Sought, the Civil House stated that Rui Costa would not speak.
