The National President of Progressives (PP) said on Friday, 6, that the “pressure” within the party is increasing for sports minister André Fufuca, to leave the government of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT).
“For me, Fufuca should not have even accepted the ministry. I don’t want to postpone this decision anymore, ”he said in an interview with GloboNews.
Leaders and leaders of the parties who make up the center and other center and center-right subtitles have shown discomfort with the changes that have been signaled by the Lula administration.
In addition to choosing, so far, only PT politicians, with a more ideological profile, in ministerial reform -Alexandre Padilha in Health and Gleisi Hoffmann at the Secretariat of Institutional Relations (SRI) -has also made the group evaluate if it is worth integrating the support base within Congress.
Because it is openly opposed and first-time ally of former President Jair Bolsonaro, Nogueira has verbalized the dissatisfaction of the party group with petista management. The Planalto, however, has already detected that discomfort also undergoes other center subtitles – including MDB, PSD, União Brasil and Republicans. The idea in the government is to try to expand, starting next week, the dialogue with these parties to reduce complaints.
The president of the PP stressed in the interview with GloboNews that there is no compatibility between your party and the Lula administration. According to him, a personal invitation of the petista was made to the federal deputy, so that there was no adherence to the federal government.

“I don’t even say to leave the government, because we never enter. Lately, this situation has created a certain embarrassment. There is pressure from the bench to make this decision, ”said the senator. “I’m going to talk about it with some leaders.”
Lira
According to members of the Allied base, the entry of PP names in the first echelon of the government underwent an articulation negotiated directly with the then mayor, Arthur Lira (PP-AL), to contemplate the century parliamentarians who had good relationship with Planalto.
In addition to the appointment of Fufuca – which is close to Nogueira and Lira – for the Ministry of Sport, the PP also chaired the Caixa Econômica Federal, with Carlos Antônio Vieira. He was nominated for the post precisely by Lira.

In the evaluation of these interlocutors of Lula, Nogueira tries to cling politically with the pressure on the government and seeks to strengthen his alliance with Bolsonaro, whom he visited in Angra dos Reis (RJ) during Carnival. Former Minister of the Civil House in the Bolsonaro government, the president of the PP has always been seen within the Planalto as a representative of the opposition. Therefore, according to these politicians, Nogueira could not leave, since he never entered.
The assessment is also that its most recent movement reflects the intention to reelect itself to the Senate in 2026 or even occupy a possible vacancy of vice-presidential candidate on an opposition plate.
Secretary
Yesterday, Estadão/BroadcastNogueira stated that the Secretary of Public Security of Sao Paulo, Guilherme Derrite, should leave the PL and migrate to PP soon to compete for the Senate by Sao Paulo in 2026.

The migration was right with Bolsonaro’s blessing. The three gathered in Angra dos Reis last Tuesday, 4, to seal the agreement.
Derrite belonged to the PP when he ran for the position of federal deputy and was first elected in 2018. The Military Police captain migrated to the PL to run again in 2022. After his reelection, he was chosen by Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans) to the Public Security portfolio, where he stood out for a hard policy that caused a crisis because of increased police violence.
Despite the criticism, Tarcisio guaranteed at the beginning of the year that Derrite would not be withdrawn from office. In the state government, the secretary became a faithful representative of pockets.
