(-PB), 35, was elected this Saturday (1st) President of for Biennium 2025-2027, becoming the youngest president of the House of History.
The deputy reaches the highest position of the House at the hands of (-al), and after a turnaround that took the main competitors of the dispute, from September.
This Saturday, Hugo received the votes of 444 of the 513 deputies of the House. Marcel Van Hattem (Novo-RS) had 31, and Pastor Henrique Vieira (PSOL-RJ), 22. There were also two blank votes.
With support from almost every house parties, Hugo had no competitive opponents and was virtually elected even before the result was announced.
Hugo’s election also makes Lira the first president of the house since the redemocratization to choose and elect his successor. The Alagoas, led conversations and agreements that led the Republican deputy to support most of the house’s subtitles.
One of Hugo’s main challenges will be, precisely, to reconcile the interests of the range of the parties that support him, going from PT to PL of. .
Throughout the campaign, Hugo made the nods to both parties, without committing to thorny themes, such as or. On the eve of the election, he released his campaign slogan: “On the side of Brazil”.
From a family of politicians, it is described by allies as a conciliatory, serene and skilled profile in the negotiations – with a strong performance behind the scenes. People close to the parliamentarian also say that he cannot be classified as a governor or oppositionist.
the parliamentarian stood out for his good relationship with different political currents in the House, but was closer to influential politicians of the centrão, including Lira, the president of PP, (PI), and the former deputy, who chaired the house in 2015 and 2016.
Still, in the Federal Government, there is an expectation of improvement in the relationship with the summit of the house after the election of Hugo, with dialogue and commitment to priority guidelines of the executive, especially in the economic area. Hugo is close to government ministers, such as (transport) and (ports and airports).
The scenario for the government in Congress, however, is not easy. The left is minority, and Lula lived in the first two years of government with an unstable base even though he distributed 11 ministries to PSD, União Brasil, MDB, Republicans and PP.
One of Hugo’s first headaches in front of the House must be the theme that mobilizes all deputies. Allies bet on Hugo’s dialogue with the Federal Supreme Court, without leaving the interests of parliamentarians in the background.
Deputies near the new mayor also say that he intends to “revive” the House Plenary, with the presence of deputies for further discussion of the articles and with the predictability of the voting agenda – with balance in the articles to meet all parties .
He has also claimed that he wants to value the work of thematic committees, reducing the number of urgent requirements taken to the plenary – in case of plenary approval, these requirements, often used by Lira, annul the need for projects to be discussed in the commissions.
