The Minister of the Civil House, confirmed this Thursday (29) that the executive secretary of the department, Mirim Belchior, will be his replacement in command of the ministry. Costa will leave the government at the end of March so he can contest elections in Bahia.
“On the last day of March I leave the government,” said Rui Costa. “The president has already informed me, and he has also informed Miriam, that she is taking over the ministry”, he declared in an interview with radio station 95FM in Jequié (BA). The department’s team should also remain practically the same, according to him.
Miriam Belchior’s rise was already expected, as was the Sheet. She was Minister of Planning in the government of (), and has worked in PT administrations since the 1990s. She had a higher status than the other executive secretaries of Esplanada since the first days of the Lula government.
in order to be candidates in the October election – the electoral law determines that they must be disqualified at least six months before the first round.
Rui Costa also said, in the same interview, that the general rule for the succession of these ministers will be to promote people who are already part of the ministries’ teams to command the portfolios. It would be the way found by Lula to reduce the impact of changes on government actions.
Furthermore, there is a guideline for there to be few changes in the staff subordinate to the ministers in each portfolio.
“The priority will be to keep someone who already makes up the team. Mainly maintain the team structure, which does not prevent small changes that whoever joins wants to make, but in a very residual way”, declared Rui Costa.
“It doesn’t make any sense six months before the election to make a general change in the teams. Then there would be a risk of discontinuing projects, programs, works and actions”, stated the head of the Civil House. “Changing the whole team and the goat having to learn where the lights turn on in the building, things get complicated,” he said.
