Lula exchanged the Secom chief for communication problems, but collects corrected ads after Sidonian’s arrival
The president of the president (PT) retreated from decisions announced at least 9 times only in 2025. According to a survey by the Poder360the setbacks began on January 15, the next day in the command of Secom (Secretariat of Social Communication of the Presidency of the Republic).
The order of Lula and the new Communication Command of the Executive was so that both the president and his ministers spoke more. The idea was to make the measures implemented by the petista government reach the ears of the population.
The increase in the amount of interviews and statements has caused the president to slide more in his words. He has reached more than 20 controversial phrases in 2 months.
In addition, the government is pressured by the government assessment at the beginning of the year, which has directed Lula and his team to avoid unpopular measures and alter decisions already consolidated to avoid crises in the present.
Lula sanctioned, for example, on October 8, the fuel law of the future. In the text, there was a determination that the mixture of biodiesel in diesel increased 1 pp in 2025. When the date of the increase approached this year, however, the government announced that it would freeze the measure to prevent food price from being affected.
The main case of retreat in 2025, however, was the pixgate. In a defeat to Finance Minister Fernando Haddad, the Planalto that increased the PIX surveillance and which viralized on the grounds that it would be a rate to the financial operation.
The change in the rules determined that the tax authorities would follow with magnifying glass who moves more than $ 5,000 per month through digital payment. This does not mean that a government rate was created by operation, as reported on social networks that found the government and forced the retreat.
Extra trade charges are charged because of the distrust of traders regarding the monitoring of financial transactions. Like the Poder360several industry professionals assess that this would be a way to pass on a possible increase in consumer costs and avoid their own losses.

Another sensitive issue for the government was food prices. At least 2 setbacks in 2025 were on the subject. In the 1st, the government announced that in eggs with the expiration date of the products. Just over 10 days after the rule was launched, the Plateau has settled and the obligation.
At another point, Haddad was exhaustive in saying that there would be no tax cost to reduce the price of food. That was in January. In March, however, Vice-President and Minister of Industry and Commerce, Geraldo Alckmin, announced that the rates of 9 foods.
The farm says the budget impact will be low, but there will be some. In practice, the government has announced measures that think they would be correct, especially from an economic-fiscal point of view, but if they cause some discomfort to the image of the petista administration, it will be revoked.
After the pixgate, Lula: “From now on, no minister will be able to make a concierge that then create confusion for us, without this ordinance to pass the Presidency of the Republic, the Civil House. ”
The reality, however, has proven differently, the Minister of the Civil House, Rui Costa, even said that in food prices, a fact that had to be rectified by the Planalto hours later.
