The president (PT) had lunch on Wednesday (12), at the Planalto Palace, with the presidents of the House and Senate, (Republicans-PB) and (Union-AP), respectively.
The meeting was outside the authorities’ agenda at the Planalto Palace. The parliamentarians participated in the ceremony of.
Lunch occurs amid a movement of Lula to seek to approach Congress. The government considers it “to zero the game”, with the exchange in charge of the two houses and, more recently, the political articulation, with the possession of Gleisi Hoffmann in the Secretariat of Institutional Relations.
“I do not want anyone to think that the president is far from the mayor, is far from the president of the Senate. We have to show society that we are, in different places, people with the same commitment to defend the sovereignty of the country, the well-being of the Brazilian,” said Lula, during the minister’s inauguration last Monday.
He also made a macho speech to refer to Gleisi’s nomination, treating her as a “beautiful woman”.
“It is very important to bring here the mayor and the president of the Senate. Because one thing I want to change, establish relationships with you. So I put this beautiful woman to be minister of institutional relations, because I no longer want to have a distance from you,” he said.
Parliamentarians were already boasting in Congress for the possibility of the meeting, with the expectation that they would deal with ministerial reform.
In possession, both alcohumbre and Motta were present. The predecessor in the Senate, Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG), was the government’s ally and used to go to the events of the Plateau in which he was invited.
Arthur Lira (PP-AL), who presided over the House until February, practically did not go to ceremonies and solemnities and had a farther posture of the government, although his party had a member at the head of the Ministry of Sports.
He also cut relations with then -minister Alexandre Padilha (institutional relations), whom he called the incompetent.
Now Motta has been more present at government events. He was once the at least three ceremonies next to Lula. Republicans, their party, have a minister in the port and airport folder, Silvio Costa Filho.
The most recent was the participation of Motta and David of the signature ceremony of the MP of the consignment, which preceded the private lunch with Lula, outside the agenda.
In the afternoon, the three were also in possession of the new STM Minister (Superior Military Court), Maria Elizabeth Rocha.
Lula and Alcolumbre continued the conversation during the inauguration of Minister Maria Elizabeth Rocha for the presidency of the STM (Superior Military Court). Sitting side by side, the two exchanged words with their mouths covered by the hands. Lula also sprung from gestures. Three times, he made the positive signal, being retributed by the Senate President
The meeting also takes place amid pressure from the allied base parties to expand spaces in the government in the electoral reform – which, so far, has only contemplated the PT.
Gleisi’s nomination for the most important post of the relationship between executive and legislature had been announced in late February and generated distrust in the political environment by the petista’s trajectory, which has a history of friction with parliamentarians. The centron claimed the post, which was not accepted by Lula, and the decision was seen as a step of the leftist president.
“I come to add. It was this mission that I received and I want to fulfill a government of wide coalition, dialoguing with the political forces of Congress and the expressions of society, its organizations and movements,” said Gleisi during his inauguration.
In the speech, she also specifically cited the mayor, Hugo Motta (Republicans-PB), and Senate, David Alcolumbre (Brazil-AP Union), stating that he will have joint performance.
The president also received David and Motta on another meeting off the agenda, after being elected for the positions. The meeting took place on February 12, at the residence of Granja do Torto.
The Minister of Finance, also participated, as well as (Civil House).
