Despite the exposure and solidarity generated by sanctions applied to the Minister of Health, and his family by the Donald Trump government, he should go outside PT’s plans for a majority candidacy in the state of São Paulo next year.
The probable political project for the minister, according to petistas, is to be a party candidate for mayor of São Paulo in 2028.
The PT faces scarcity of competitive names to run for the state government and the two vacancies to the Senate in 2026. It follows as a preferential option for one of these candidacies, although resisting to leave the government in April next year.
Padilha, which was previously considered for the São Paulo election, should be in office until the end of Lula’s term in December 2026, and bet that it will be held in the government in an eventual second term of the petista.
The US government announcement that he was punishing Padilha because of his participation generated a solidarity movement to the minister. Even Michel Temer’s former ministers criticized the measure.
Through his advisory, the minister stated that it continues to focus until the end of Lula’s term in December 2026, in his role in front of the health portfolio.
