União Brasil will hold one next Wednesday (8) to decide on the possible expulsion of the Minister of Tourism, Celso Sabino (União-PA), of the subtitle. The decision was announced by Ronaldo Caiado, party president in Goiás. Live CNN.
“If the expulsion is realized, there is already an alternative in progress: Sabino’s affiliation to a party from the allied base. This option has already been informally presented by government interlocutors,” says Clarissa Oliveira.
The case demonstrates, in which Sabino remains as minister even with his. The situation has been going on for three weeks, with the minister receiving support from Union Brazil sectors in the National Congress, especially from the House bench.
Among the possibilities discussed, there is a chance of less severe punishment, similar to that considered to be, which would only involve loss of control in the regional directory, maintaining party affiliation.
For the government, the ideal scenario would be to keep Sabino in the current position, even with party tensions. “The strategy considers the possibility of rapprochement with centrão sectors at a time closer to the elections, especially if there is a favorable scenario in opinion polls,” explains the analyst.
The political context becomes even more complex considering the 2026 elections. Sabino, even affiliated with a party that signals opposition, seeks to remain as a candidate with governing support in his state, aiming to take advantage of the exhibition he will have with COP30.
