The minister of the Secretariat of Institutional Relations, (PT), intends to concentrate government negotiations with Congress, previously divided with other ministers, and position herself as a direct articulator between the President of the Republic and the summits of the century and dominated by the centron.
Gleisi’s allies speak of a change in the model of political articulation. After a period when leaders stared at the relationship with the government with little confidence, these allies say that the minister can make negotiations with greater support from Lula, prioritizing party leaders and actively participating in each stage of negotiations.
The minister’s first week in office was overshadowed by a statement in which Lula said he put one.
The government’s relationship with the legislature in the first two years of office in the face of an unstable parliamentary base. In addition, the then president of. With this, other ministers began to act on the front line of negotiations with Congress, such as (Farm) and (Civil House).
One of the main complaints of parliamentarians in these two years is what they classify as non -compliance with federal government agreements.
Deputies and senators claim that more than once commitments were signed with a minister without endorsement or knowledge of all members of the Planalto Palace. Thus, the hits were not taken later. The idea now is that Gleisi coordinates these processes to avoid noise.
In addition, the minister intends to value the figure of party leaders, organizing frequent meetings with parliamentarians. On Tuesday (11), for example, she at the Planalto Palace and promoted a dinner with members of Centrão in her apartment in Brasilia.
The government leader in the House, (PT-CE), said that these meetings would serve to “tune the guitar” and establish procedures. “Gleisi was exhaustive: the whole relationship will be with leaders and presidents of the houses. Nothing in retail. It is to strengthen leaders and the college of leaders,” he said.
She also met with the presidents of the Chamber, (Republicans-PB), and Senate, (Brazil-AP Union). In his inaugural speech on Monday (10), Gleisi waved both and said he arrived “to add.” She also spoke of “respect opponents” and “collaborate with everyone”.
“This was the mission I received and intend to fulfill, in a government of wide coalition, dialoguing with the political forces of Congress and the expressions of society, its organizations and movements,” he said.
Although the minister’s appointment generated, which has a history of friction with parliamentarians, leaders heard by the report praised Gleisi’s early days in office.
Another point questioned by government allies was the leftist tone that today minister adopted in his speeches, with criticism, for example, to the spending containment model adopted in Haddad’s management on the farm.
The minister is described as a harsh but compliance with agreements. The assessment of these allies is that it will maintain a farther relationship with deputies and senators – indicate when it will be possible or not to carry out any requests, without rodeos. Gleisi herself tells interlocutors that she only closes commitments she knows she will be able to fulfill.
Moreover, a minister’s interlocutor says she is aware that she cannot make a mistake in front of her position, in the way to the 2026 elections.
An ally of the mayor says Gleisi has shown to have Lula’s backing, which may give the negotiations fluidity, and indicated to want to resolve the executive’s pending issues with the legislature – as appointments that were not ahead and the payment of parliamentary amendments.
The new minister maintains a good relationship with the surroundings of Motta. Last year, she was one of the first important PT figures to defend, within the party, the support of the deputy’s candidacy for Arthur Lira’s succession (PP-AL).
A, for the position of Minister of the Secretariat of Institutional Relations. Still, a center party leader says he expects Gleisi’s arrival to also diminish the distance between parliamentarians and the President of the Republic, serving as a direct bridge between Lula and the leaders.
Senators and deputies charge a larger participation of Lula in the political articulation, remembering the meetings with parliamentarians he organized in the first and second term that and have not occurred in the current one.
The president indicated that he wants to approach Motta and Alcolumbre, reducing the distance between them, saying this publicly during the week.
“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 to 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.
There is an assessment between government members that the exchange in charge of the two houses “zeroed the game” in the relationship with Congress. He had already met with Alcolumbre and Motta on another occasion at Granja do Torto in February.
