The ministerial reform promoted by the government of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (EN) for more support in the National Congress has begun to take shape behind the scenes. One of the likely alternatives for the changes, according to the investigation of the Young Pan Newsis that the Republicans enter a name for the Ministry of Ports and Airports and the progressives (PP), for the new Ministry of Micro and Small Businesswhich will be created with assignments taken from the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Services. the party of Arthur Lira (PP), president of the Chamber of Deputies, would still hold the presidency of the Caixa Econômica Federal. In this scenario, there would be no changes in the Ministry of Social Development, responsible for Bolsa Família and which would continue with Wellington Dias (PT). This Thursday, the 17th, the Minister of Institutional Relations, Alexandre Padilha (PT), said that Lula should hit the hammer on the changes before his trip to South Africa for the BRICS Summit, scheduled for next Sunday, 20.
“I was dealing with him early in the morning and said: ‘We have to make some decisions because you’re leaving on Sunday, you’re going to be away for a whole week with an important agenda’. It’s the Brics, an important CPLP agenda, the resumption of Brazil’s cooperation with the African continent, it comes back and soon after there’s the G20 and soon after Brazil assumes the presidency of Mercosur (…) We don’t strengthen this international agenda without involve, in addition to diplomacy, political, economic and social actors,” said Padilha. Lula and Lira would have already reached a consensus on the nominees for the Progressives and Republicans to enter the government: Andre Fufuca (PP) e Silvio Costa Filho (Republicans). However, in both parties there is internal resistance to integrating the government base.
