The president (), in both of the long -awaited ministerial reform, contemplated, frustrating leaders and members of the center and allied parties.
The choice of made these interlocutors reinforce criticism of the government, that Lula would be increasingly fully fulfilled and that ministerial reform will not be for real.
The expectation in the political world, from petistas and center allies, was that ministerial reform would have as one of the focuses to giving a shake in the government, which came Lula eventually prioritizing exchanges within his party, when many point to the need to strengthen his base and avoid stampede.
Gleisi will enter the place of. The centrão, although it coveted the Nisia folder a lot, already saw with greater difficulty Lula handing over his command to a member of these parties.
Similarly, since the beginning of speculation of exchanges last year, allies closer to the president already said that Lula would also choose only to the Secretariat of Institutional Relations someone who was his strict confidence. There would hardly be a non -petist plateau.
However, he existed in Congress expecting the historical rates of rejection of his government to cause him to expand the presence of allied base parties to ensure governance. In this sense, the folder would be symbolic to break PT hegemony.
Names such as the minister (ports and airports), Deputy Aguinaldo Ribeiro (PP-PB) or MDB leader Isnaldo Bulhões (AL), arose in the congressional bookmaker-if the emedebista the strongest, even for his proximity to the new president of the House (Republicans-PB).
The choice then took parliamentarians and party leaders by surprise, especially in Centrão. Neither Motta nor (Brazil-AP Union), president of the Senate, were invited to the dialogue. The warning came from the president himself, on Friday, before the note was published by Planalto.
An assistant close to Lula advised the president and the new minister to refer a member of the center for government leadership in the House as a way to alleviate the impact of Gleisi’s appointment.
Isnaldo, for example, is cited as the main name to succeed José Guimarães (PT-CE) in office. In this chess, he would go to a PT presidency mandate, as Gleisi will leave the post.
This possibility bumps into the dissatisfaction of the center with the appointment of the PT president to the ministry. Allies of Deputy Alagoas say that if he took office, he would be like a consolation award.
The main reading among these Centrão members is that Lula doubles the bet on the PT, reinforcing that his government is for petistas and already thinking about the election of 2026, while leaving allies of other acronyms – and potential allies – aside.
Centrão’s subtitles are part of the government and have ministries. But in Congress, their benches do not vote entirely with Lula and there are parliamentarians who oppose the Plateau.
The idea of ministerial reform, which these parties say they have not seen so far, would be precisely to make more room for these acronyms in the government.
The complaints now have risen by level. Chiefs of these parties came to say behind the scenes that the message is that Lula does not want to dialogue and wants a PT government. The malaise, which was put, must be expanded, they say.
Critics from Gleisi remember that, at the head of the PT, the deputy has already complained about the presence of parties in the government that do not deliver votes in Congress proportional to the presence on the Esplanade, such as União Brasil, which has two ministers.
Parliamentarians also point out that Gleisi also criticized the “greed” of Congress with parliamentary amendments – and that her ministry is the government’s main intermediary in negotiating transfers with Parliament.
To minimize distrust, the future minister called Congress leaders shortly after the government’s official announcement. Gleisi, according to reports, asked for collaboration and said things will improve. She also invited leaders to inauguration on the 10th and to a meeting after Carnival.
In addition, the federal deputy is known to be hard and for having a difficult deal, in an environment that is mostly male. She was a senator and minister of the Civil House in the Government (PT).
This personal feature bothers some, but for others it is also a reason for compliments from center -allied parliamentarians, who expect the expectation of a firmer’s different posture. They expect her to have the “pen in hand” more.
It is expected that there may be an improvement with a name that has been empowered to charge the Esplanade the fulfillment of agreements with Congress – one of the main criticism made to Padilha.
Gleisi’s arrival at Planalto Palace still changes the correlation of forces in the government. As president of the PT, she was (farm)-he, as well as other ministers, received a call from the new esplanade colleague on Friday.
At different times, Haddad and the Minister (House) are on opposite sides of discussion, and Gleisi could be faithful to the balance in these cases.
The future minister arrives at the Planalto with the confidence of the president and the expectation of allies of being someone who can advise him on an equal footing to the other palace, even eventually facing Rui Costa.
