Decision would take Celso Sabino (Tourism) and André Fufuca (sports) of ministries; Government presses with other positions to show Racha in parties
União Brasil and the PP should announce this Thursday (2.Set.2025) the departure of parties from the base of the government of the president (PT). With the decision, ministers Celso Sabino (Tourism) and André Fufuca (sport) should also leave their positions in ministries.
O Poder360 There was a discomfort of the ministers for judging that there are 2 weights and two measures in the treatment of acronym positions in the 1st level. In the assessment of the governors, if they want to leave the executive, União Brasil and PP they should also waive the more strategic positions.
The PP, for example, is responsible for appointing the president of Caixa Econômica Federal, Carlos Vieira. It was an indication of the former mayor, (PP-AL). Must follow in office at a 1st moment.
União Brasil has names at Codevasf (São Francisco and Parnaíba Valleys Development Company).
Another point is the indication of the “personal quota” of Senate President David Alcolumbre (Union Brasil-AP). At least the Minister of Regional Development, Waldez Goes, is indicated by the senator. In the government assessment, there is no reason to oblige the minister to leave office with the departure of supporting parties.
If União Brasil and PP decide for a landing, the Ministers of Tourism and Sports do not want to be the only drawn. Politically, the cost of abandoning these positions is lower than in state -owned companies, for example. Fufuca and Sabino -controlled budgets are among the smallest of the terrace. But for them, the showcase is critical to its future politicians in Maranhão and Pará, respectively.
In the case of Sabino, he has gained protagonism in negotiations related to infrastructure works for COP30 in Belém, which will be in November. According to the Poder360the minister would still participate in the event outside the government, because he is a congressman of the state, but would rather do so in the ministry.
In the government, the assessment is that the permanence of the ministers reinforces the thesis of divided parties. That is, it would show to the political class and society that there is no unanimity against Lula even in center-right parties. The fact can be used as an asset for the 2026 elections.
The president of the PP, Ciro Nogueira, and the president of União Brasil, Antonio Rueda, gathered this 3rd (2.Set) to discuss the issue and should announce the result in the coming hours.
