In a meeting with an emedebist summit, Lula pointed out three ministries to the party
BRASÍLIA – President-elect Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) will assign three ministries to the MDB, guaranteeing Senator Simone Tebet (MS) and former governor of Alagoas Renan Filho (MDB), senator-elect, in the first echelon. The deputy José Priante (PA), cousin of the governor of Pará, Helder Barbalho, should be the indication of the MDB of the Chamber for the coveted Ministry of Cities, to be recreated.
In the afternoon of this Thursday 22 Lula received the national president of the MDB, the deputy Baleia Rossi (SP), the senators Renan Calheiros (AL) and Eduardo Braga, as well as the party leader in the Chamber, Isnaldo Bulhões (AL) to discuss the government composition.
In the meeting, the president-elect guaranteed space for Simone Tebet in the first echelon, according to the interlocutors of the new government. After the PT denied the portfolio that the senator coveted, that of social development, Lula allegedly offered her the ministry of urban planning or the environment. The definition of what will be Simone’s final option is expected for this Friday.
Simone was in third place in the race for Palazzo Planalto, but in the second round he supported Lula and took the center vote for the PT campaign. Lula said at the time that the senator would not return to Mato Grosso do Sul, already hinting that she would join the ministry. In addition to the interest of the PT, Simone’s name was defended by Baleia Rossi.
According to the deputy Isnaldo Bulhões, it was agreed with Lula that the MDB will also be responsible for appointing the Ministry of Transport, which will arise from the dismemberment of the current Infrastructure portfolio, and the Ministry of Cities. The option for Transportation is Renan Filho, who was also asked for Planning. Helder Barbalho will be consulted on the appointment of the MDB of the House for Lula’s team.
The MDB gained strength in the dispute over the ministries coveted by the Centrão, such as the Cities, to be created by the change of the important Ministry of Regional Development. PSD and União Brasil also turn to Lula for these portfolios, which have a robust budget and solid execution of works and services. The leaders of the acronyms also want control of the Development Company of the Valleys of São Francisco and Parnaíba (Codevasf), the “state company of the Centrão”.
