The current ministerial reform of (PT) is the sixth of its three governments, the first under the cloak of unpopularity, as shown by opinion research.
On other occasions when he moved a block some pieces of his team, Lula has always been with the positive assessment above negative, even at the height of the scandal, in mid -2005.
Now, according to government approval is 24%, the lowest rate of all its governments, against 41% rejection, also a record.
Lula came to power in 2003, defeating the situation candidate, toucan José Serra.
In the transition, his future Minister of the Civil House, José Dirceu (PT), sewed an agreement to enter the PMDB government (today MDB), which at the time had elected the third largest bench of the House of Representatives, with 75 of the 513 chairs.
The idea was to give the Peedebebists two folders, mines and energy and national integration. .
As a result, Lula’s first ministry was filled with petistas and with just a few folders distributed to other leftist parties. Only two right acronyms were in the composition, the PL (transport) and the PTB (tourism).
At the end of the first year of management, Lula ended up being forced to make his first renovation with the goal of finally bringing part of the PMDB to the government. The acronym of Michel Temer got two folders, Senator Amir Lando on Social Security and Federal Deputy Eunício Oliveira in the communications.
Lula would also take advantage of the occasion to exchange pieces that he evaluated not yielding enough, especially in education, and put in their place Tarso Genro (PT).
Lula’s second ministerial reform occurred a year and a half later, already amid the impact of the political support purchase scheme at the National Congress.
During this period, mid -2005, he showed him an erosion in the petista’s popularity, but not as detected now – 35% of approval and 23% rejection (these rates would get worse by the end of that year).
At the time, Dilma Rousseff (PT) took over the Civil House instead of Dirceu (who would return to the House and would have the mandate revoked months later), and the left -wing political articulator, Aldo Rebelo (PC do B), was replaced by Jaques Wagner (PT).
The PPB (today PP), the fifth largest bench in the House, dislocated the PT of the Ministry of Cities, and the MDB exchanged the Mirrada Social Security for the robust health and energy and energy, adding three ministries.
Lula eventually managed to overcome the crisis, and his third ministerial reform occurred only to switch interinos and tax ministers in the vacancies of the holders who dismissed the positions to compete in the 2006 elections.
The petista was reelected for a second term that year, defeating Geraldo Alckmin (PSDB), today his deputy, and lived from 2007 to 2010 a much higher popularity and congressional stability.
So much so that in these years it made only punctual exchanges on the team and promoted a renovation, the fourth of its governments, only in the election year, again to switch off ministers in place of those who would compete in the 2010 elections.
The PT remained hegemonic in controlling ministries, with the MDB as the main partner – as much as Michel Temer indicated as deputy on Lula’s successor, Dilma Rousseff. The other left and PP and PTB parties were supporting, with a folder each of them.
Already in the current term, the third, Lula assumed with a much more adverse scenario.
Centrão and other center and right parties, which control Congress, have nine ministries, three for MDB, three for PSD and three for União Brasil, party that has the origin of the PFL, archirrival of previous years.
Already before the first year, Lula made the fifth ministerial reform of his management.
This time to change the Minister of União Brasil who had lost the party’s support – Deputy Daniela do Waguinho lost tourism to Deputy Celso Sabino, also from União – and to take to the government federal deputies of the PP and Republicans – André Fufuca (sports) and Silvio Costa Filho (ports and airports), respectively.
In the current renovation, Friday, Lula is pressured to expand the unprecedented space of center and right parties in his management – they already control 11 folders. He was being pressured to give someone from these subtitles the coordination of the government’s political articulation, but this Friday (28) eventually announced PT President Gleisi Hoffmann for the vacancy.
The current reform began with the exchange of Nisia Trindade (health), which is not affiliated, but is linked to the PT, which until then headed the institutional relations portfolio. In January.
For the first time in Lula’s management, ministers of other parties and without party binding represent more than half of PT-affiliated ministers, 26-11, although the acronym maintains the command of key posts such as farm, Civil House, education, political articulation and now health.
