The says that the next Minister of Tourism, Gustavo Damião,
Gustavo is the son of federal deputy Damião Feliciano (União-PB), who should not suffer retaliation.
Before the nomination was finalized, the parliamentarian consulted leaders of the party about the survey coming from the government and heard that there would be no obstacles, due to the fact that he was not formally linked to the Union.
Gustavo must replace Celso Sabino, who was expelled from União precisely for being in the Lula government, contrary to party guidelines.
The appointment responds to Lula’s desire to make a nod to the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), to whom the next minister is close.
Despite not being an indication of União Brasil, the appointment also responds to Lula’s desire to improve the relationship with the party.
