Rui and the MST have frictions

Rui Costa’s call-up is seen as a defeat for the Lula government. In July the Estadao column showed that Planalto fears the testimony of the minister for the history of conflict between Rui and the movement, which could end up arming the opposition. Bahia is the scene of numerous invasions by the MST and Rui does not hide his lack of sympathy for the movement from either the supporters of the PT or the allies of Planalto.

The most recent friction occurred in May when the STD extension and federal deputy Valmir Assuncao (PT-BA), one of the group’s leaders in Bahia, accused Rui of vetoing representatives of the landless movement on President Lula’s podium during a Pluriannual Plan (PPA) event, held in the state. The Civil House prime minister denied the veto. In 2016, when Costa was still governor, the MST even occupied the Palácio de Ondina, the seat of state government. They accused the petist of having broken promises made to the movement.
