The President () evaluates the possibility of doing with the purpose of reorganizing his government to the.
In conversations with allies, Lula admits the intention to replace ministers who will compete in next year’s elections even before the deadline for disintegration in April.
It is also pointed out by allies as an opportunity for the center’s parties.
According to these allies, ministerial reform can be sliced and start in October, driven by the possible entry of () at the General Secretariat of the Presidency, and the ultimatum of the federation composed by and their affiliates with positions in the executive.
The president’s idea, however, faces a strong resistance from the ministers who will launch themselves in the electoral dispute. They prefer to remain in positions until deadline for the expectation that work in the Esplanade will serve as an electoral showcase.
Proof of this is the permanence of the Ministers of the Union Brazil and PP Federation themselves, despite the contrary guidance of their parties.
União Brasil and PP announced on October 2, almost a month ago, the decision to leave the folders occupied by politicians with mandate, setting the 30th as a fatal deadline. União Brasil.
Despite the determination of the acronym, (tourism) managed to extend its permanence. He even resorted to the party to stay in office by the end of the year.
Under pressure, but should accompany Lula at an official event in Belém this Thursday (2). He wants to leave a candidate for the Pará, a state for which he was elected federal deputy.
The PP summit defined how Saturday (4) the deadline for the minister (sports) to leave the government. Originally the deadline was this Wednesday (1st).
For now, Lula has not taken the initiative to exonerate them. In the case of União Brasil, the president has repeated that his relationship is with the president of the Senate, (AP). It will be up to him to indicate the successor.
Keeping the guidance of the PP to leave the government, Lula can reserve the position to expand other parties, such as PSD, PDT or PSB.
According to the president’s allies, the changes will not be restricted to the center’s parties and may reach the PT at this first moment. Among the petistas who will compete in the elections next year are Paulo Teixeira (agrarian development) and Luiz Marinho (work).
Also according to Lula’s allies, the strategy for 2026 will dictate the renovation calendar. The redesign of the Esplanade depends on the profile that Lula intends to print to his last year of government, according to each ministry.
In cases where you choose the rise of executive secretaries, seconds in the folder hierarchy, the exchange may happen next year. But it will be anticipated if Lula prefer to set up a new team for the last year of office – if this is the president’s current trend.
At least 20 ministers are expected to leave office to run next year. The occupants of key posts, such as Rui Costa (Casa Civil) and (institutional relations), can be maintained until April.
In addition to the ministers who are pre-candidates, (farm) can also leave the government, although it is to coordinate Lula’s campaign, if it does not compete for the São Paulo government.
Lula should support his ministers’ candidacies, even if his parties choose to launch other presidential candidates. Sabino would be one of them. The minister wants to run for the Senate and can count on the president’s endorsement in the contract.
Senate pre-candidate and currently holder of the port and airport portfolio, Silvio Costa Filho (Republicans) is another example of minister who will be supported by Lula.
Regional alliances
In Planalto, the strategy is to take advantage of the president’s current wave in an attempt to stop the advancement of coalitions between the center parties or, if not possible, sew regional support for setting up stands.
Two influential central politicians recognize that there is a change in air, but they pondered that this is photography of the moment – they say that even many things can happen.
One remembers that two months ago Lula was politically weak. Now the projection for 2026 is another, with the petista emerging as a favorite, but no new turnaround is ruled out.
A member of the Chamber of Deputies summit says that the government is enjoying “the good winds” of the news of recent weeks.
He recalls, however, that there is still an unfavorable scenario to the executive in Congress, at a time when matters of interest to federal management are discussed. And what problems that the government had faced a few months ago, such as the search for alternatives to the discharge of IOF (circulation tax) to raise the collection, will return to the debate by the end of the year.
