The president (PT) has warned allies that he will replace the Minister of Health, in the ministerial reform under discussion in the government.
That of members of Congress, members of the Planalto Palace and Lula himself, in the area.
According to Sheet He learned, Lula told the political and health interlocutors that he intends to change the minister. The strongest name to replace it is that of the minister (Secretariat of Institutional Relations), who was the holder of the portfolio in the management of (PT).
Allies report that the president no longer hides his frustration with Nisia’s performance. In 2024, the administration of the minister was marked by criticism, sanitary crises and the pressure of the center to expand control over the folder budget.
There is an assessment in the Planalto Palace that, in a moment of the president’s fall of popularity, it has the potential to present and implement greater visibility public policies, including the.
The program promises to reduce queues and expand population access to experts and consultations in the areas of Oncology, Cardiology, Ontalmology, Otorhinolaryngology and Orthopedics. Lula’s assistants bet that, under new direction, this initiative can be a showcase and become a mark of petista management.
In the conversations in which he discussed names to replace Nisia, Lula expressed personal preference by the name of former Health Minister Arthur Chioro. But, according to these reports, the president admits that he should choose Padilha for political reasons and the relationship of the minister with the team that is already in the folder.
These interlocutors of the president cite the importance of a name that has a political profile to be ahead of the portfolio, which would tell in favor of the current minister of SRI (Secretariat of Institutional Relations). Chior, in turn, has the support of the Minister of the Civil House, Rui Costa, and has been playing behind the scenes to join the government.
An additional argument in favor of Padilha is the fact that Chioro currently manages well-evaluated by the government ahead of, and keeping it at this post would be a safe decision.
If Padilha’s option is confirmed, ministerial reform should include an important change in the so -called Planalto Palace cuisine. In this scenario, the most quoted to command Lula’s political articulation becomes the leader of the Senate government, (BA).
Wagner was probed for the place last week. The Bahian Senator pondered, according to reports that he made to allies, that a. Thus, it would be more effective the appointment of a deputy to the Secretariat of Institutional Relations.
A defender of Wagner’s name says, in turn, that his choice can benefit the government because he is a politician “who puts the ball to the ground,” regarded as a conciliator and good traffic in different segments. In addition, it is one of the few people who are free to advise the President of the Republic with frankness.
In the conversations, Lula considered the hypothesis of appointing PT president Gleisi Hoffmann (PR) to the Secretariat of Institutional Relations. Lula was, however, alerted to the difficulties of her relationship with the congressmen.
In this scenario, came the alternative of the government leader in the House, José Guimarães (PT-CE). He has the sympathy of Centrão leaders, being one of the closest petistas of members of the group, including the former mayor (PP-AL).
The center complains that most, and works to get an ally in the SRI – considered strategic in the release of parliamentary amendments.
The group, a government parliamentary who is right-hand man of the mayor (Republicans-PB), and ally of the Senate President, (Brazil-AP Union).
Nevertheless, Lula’s interlocutors say that work at SRI requires a close and confidence relationship with the President of the Republic, with daily agendas. Therefore, they argue that a PT parliamentarian is raised to the post.
Guimarães approached the hard core of Motta’s allies last year, assuming the defense ,. In addition to this factor, it weighs in favor of the petista parliamentarian the fact that Lula recognizes his effort to approve matters of interest to the executive in the last two years.
Lula’s assistants say he still has doubts about the exact dimension of the changes he will make on the terrace. In a press speech, on Wednesday (19), and said that, just as he invited who wanted to join the government, can take anyone who wants to want.
Still, there is an expectation between Lula’s allies of possible announcements from this weekend, when the PT’s 45th birthday party in Rio de Janeiro takes place. The idea is to start relocating by the petistas and names of Lula’s personal quota.
Amid the celebration of the party, the possibility of formalization of the name of the party president is cited ,. The party would mark her farewell to the party presidency.
