The decision occurred after Sabino could not convince the party leaders and, above all, the president of the acronym, Antonio Rueda, to be in the folder at least until the end of the year – he is a licensed federal deputy. He was with Lula at the Planalto Palace in the early afternoon.
“I had a conversation today with the President of the Republic, due to the decision of the party to which I am affiliated to make the government. And I came here to fulfill my role, I handed the president my letter and my request to depart from the Ministry of Tourism, fulfilling the decision of my party,” Sabino said in a press conference after meeting with Lula.
“I will continue talking to leaders of my party (…) I believe in dialogue and that public men who are committed to the nation will work together for the good of the country,” he added.
Sabino stated that Lula asked him to continue in office next week, when the petista will go to the state of Pará to inaugurate works related to the structure to receive COP30, the United Nations Climate Conference, which will be held in November. “It is in charge of President Lula [aceitar ou não a carta]”Sabino said.
“Next week, on Thursday, the president will go to the state of Pará to inaugurate much of these works. The president asked me to accompany him on this mission in the city of Belém on Thursday. I go as minister [a Belém]”Said Sabino, who is a federal deputy licensed by Pará.
The minister’s intention is to use this time to try to enable his stay in office. For this, it will have to convince the party summit. In its favor there is a movement, which has been intensified in recent days, to distemance the relationship of União Brasil Command with the Planalto Palace.
The expectation, according to people along with conversations, is that there is a meeting in the coming days a meeting between Rueda and Lula himself. In this movement, names such as Senate Presidents David Alcolumbre (União Brasil-AP) and PT, Edinho Silva were acting in this movement.
A member of the party summit says there is a willingness on both sides to lower the tension. He acknowledges that a total break of the acronym with the government is not advantageous elsewhere – more than a year from 2026. In addition, members of the acronym have nominations in federal positions and would not be willing to give up these posts at this time.
It would be up to the National Executive of União Brasil to review the requirement to exit Sabino. Since it was this party instance that unanimously deliberated by the landing of the government.
On the 18th, the departure of federal management, setting this Friday as a deadline. Initially, the age that all politicians “holding mandates” leave federal management until September 30, at risk of expulsion.
The union’s ultimatum was given after revealing accusations made by a pilot that party president Antonio Rueda owns planes operated by the CCP (first command of the capital). Rueda denies the accusation.
One day after this party decision, and warned that he would resign from office. Sabino to be able to go ahead of the folder until the end of, which occurs in November in Belém.
With an electoral domicile in the state, in the mega event and evaluates that this may help consolidate his candidacy for, in 2026. He chairs the state directory of the subtitle.
Rueda’s relationship with the federal government was already shudder. The party leader complained to allies for never being received by the petista. The first meeting took place in July, a day after the Congress overturned a government decree with changes in IOF (circulation tax), and was described by members of União Brasil as “terrible”.
Since then, the President of the Republic with criticism of the federal government. Rueda is president of the Federation with OE has been opposed to the petista management and in support of a Centro-right candidacy in 2026. In August, at a ministerial meeting, the president, saying that she did not like him and knew that the reciprocal was true.
Sabino is the only name nominated by the party to integrate the petista terrace. Ministers Frederico de Siqueira Filho (communications) and Waldez Góes (regional development) are from the quota of alcohubre and should not leave the positions.
Members of the first level of Planalto evaluate that the Alliance of Management with União Brasil has been supported, for some time, in a relationship with the Senate President, and not with the direction of the acronym.
In addition to Sabino, Minister André Fufuca (Sports). To avoid leaving the command of the folder next Tuesday (30), Fufuca, who is a licensed federal deputy, tries to sew an agreement with the PP summit so that he can stay at the post until the end of the year. The idea would be for him to license from the acronym during this period.
According to PP politicians, party president Ciro Nogueira (PI) does not oppose the idea. There is an assessment, however, that with Sabino output the pressure increases so that it also fufuca leaves the terrace.
Faced with this scenario, the president’s allies bet on the attempt to re -regular the parties of the allied base, including the centrão, in these spaces. Among the subtitles that can be contemplated are PSD, PDT, PSB and even.
Auxiliaries of the president claim that, unlike the time of government assembly, still in the transition, when the priority was to guarantee governability, now also weighs the construction of regional alliances for 2026, seeking support for the reelection of the petista.
