With a command of the Senate and the Chamber, the two mandates run away from the rule and have a horizon of opportunities.
A common fear for those who leave chamber and senate presidencies is ostracism, the loss of political relevance. This is the way he took the vast majority of the former presidents. There were also those who left the revocation of the plenary and from there they went to prison, like Eduardo Cunha. It turns out that, running away from what has almost become a rule, the horizon for Senator Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG) and for deputy Arthur Lira (PP-AL) is of much more calm waters.
Both are hypothesized and mentioned as possible lula ministers (PT). The pedestal plans to carry out a ministerial reform to accommodate the new composition of the forces to the congress and guarantee more conditions of governance.
Last Thursday, 30, Lula was asked during a press conference from journalists on both names: “I can’t say who will be [ministro]Boys. If I could speak, I would speak. But I want Pacheco to be the governor of Minas Gerais. This is what I want, “he said.
According to the Lula accounts, the ideal is that only in ministries are those who will not need to detach themselves from the office to look for a new election in 2026. This is the case, for example, of the ministers who are authorized senators and have a mandate Until 2030 and ministers who usually do not demonstrate electoral ambitions.
In this scenario, Pacheco may not be a new minister. But it is already credited by Lula as a fundamental piece to have a phase in the second largest electoral college in the country. The allies bet that wants a chair on the Supreme Court, which looks like a dream farther in the current scenario.
Before Lula’s speech in November 2024, Pacheco had declared in an interview with the Senator Jorge Kajuru (PSB-Go) program not to have immediate ambitions to apply for a position.
“The decision of the political future I allow myself to do when I finish my mandate in the presidency of the Senate. The decision not to be a candidate is a decision that belongs to me. But it’s not something I have in mind today. In fact, today I have a much stronger tendency to end my public life in 2027, than to be a candidate in 2026, “said the president of the Senate.
Even if he has not decided – or at least he does not bring him to the public – Pacheco knows that he brings a precious political capital with him. It may have been underlined by some senators as inert or extremely bureaucratic when not emits notes in times of crisis, but it goes without rose with most of the parliamentarians.
Pacheco with Lira has guided historical votes such as tax reform. Although the balance is positive, Pacheco will bring with it the sign of having been the president who has opposed the opening of the Covid CPI.
The investigation was opened by the Stf determination. Pacheco said that at the moment the decision was “wrong” and generates “inadequate precedents”. “The CPI can anticipate the electoral scenario of 2022,” he said.
“The Pandemic CPIs, at this moment, in this historical court of Brazil, with the severity of the pandemic that require the American union, will be a point outside the curve”, the senator insisted on. “And in addition to a point of crisis, it can be a crown of national failure in confronting pandemic,” he said on April 19, 2021. That day, 3,647 people died, the country lived one of the worst moments of the pandemic and yes He was approaching 350,000 deaths.
Bolsonaro support to flirt with Lula
On the other side of the congress, Lira is also mentioned to be minister. The vacant place commented among parliamentarians is agriculture, occupied by Carlos Fávaro (PSD-MT). Lula, as in the case of Pacheco, was bewildered. Lira said he did not invite and did not try to face the matter.
According to some governors, Lira’s journey to Aplanada could help with the relationship with agri -food, a group more aligned with the opposition of Bolsanista, would bring a possible articulator from the scene with the ability to bring difficult to the government to the congress.
Hardly but a word that includes, Lira did not spare criticism of the government of Lula, investigations of the federal and indirect police to the Supreme Court. The minister responsible for the political joint, Alexandre Padilha, is considered a personal personal from Alagoas. Although under a gross witness, Lira will bring the curriculum the approval of the tax reform, which also with a lot of articulation and negotiation to move forward, had to vote in the plenary brought to the nail by Alagoas.
In addition, he is proud to have led to vote on other reforms such as the independence of the central bank and the projects to relieve Covid’s pandemic. The deputy did not put the guidelines for bombs to vote, but has severely negotiated the interest of the Chamber (spaces and resources) with the two governments, Lula and Bolsonaro. It was from the Bolsonaro coalition in 2022, and also the first to recognize Lula’s victory in those elections. In short, if you consider you someone who has always given comfort to the presidents.
Lira’s hard guide felt, among other parliamentarians, by her predecessor, Rodrigo Maia, who led the house between 2016 and 2021.
Maia was brought to oblivion as soon as he returned to the “plenary floor”. Alagoas placed the veto at the appointment of the rival to the vice-law of the opposition in 2021, on the basis of the fact that Maia was out of the party and should have been affiliated with a certain opposition to the then government of Bolsonaro to occupy the position. Without effective performance until the end of the mandate, Maia, who chaired the house between 2016 and 2021, preferred not to compete in 2022.
Another name that he felt Lira’s isolation was an ex -important power, deputy delegate Waldir (at the time at the Goiás PSL). In November 2021, In an interview with the Brasil interceptHe shot on Lira saying that his election to the presidency had been paved by the negotiations with the “secret budget”, of which Lira promised $ 10 million in amendments in exchange for support. At the time, Lira did not comment.
Now that he returns to the “plenary floor” is lira. But unlike Maia, he made his successor, Hugo Motta (Republicans-PB) and feels comfortable in the fact that he is “only a” deputy between 513. He refers to friends that he is missing more time with the family and is Able to slow down a little of the frenetic pace of over 15 hours of work per day in the last four years.
With enormous technical knowledge on the flow of government amendments and payments, Lira knew how to use her power to irrigate its bases in Alagoas. But even so, it is bewildered for the possibility of playing in the Senate in 2026 against the Archirrival, Renan Calheiros (MDB-AL).
