Lula announces a new Minister of Ports and Airports

Negotiations have been underway for months, and have seen the Republican Party and the Progressive Party – the latter of which includes the President of the Council, Arthur Lira (PP-AL) – enter the front row of government. . Vuvoka takes over from Anna Moser, while Costa Filho succeeds Marcio France (PSB), who will take over a new portfolio that will be created, called the Ministry of Small and Micro Enterprises. The Republicans and the Popular Party are among the largest parliamentary groups in the House of Representatives, as the government seeks to strengthen a support base for approving projects.

Anna Moser’s fate has not been announced. The new changes represent the fourth cabinet reshuffle that Lula has promoted during his current term, in less than a year. In July, he had already announced a change in the Ministry of Tourism, with the departure of Daniela Carneiro (União Brasil-RJ) and the appointment of Celso Sabino (União Brasil-PA), who took office about a month ago. This measure was a requirement of the national leadership of the Brazilian Confederation to remain at the base of the government, after internal disagreements with the former minister.

In April, General Gonçalves Dias requested his removal from his position as Prime Minister of the Office of Institutional Security of the Presidency, in the context of the revelation of images of the coup saboteurs’ invasion of the Palacio do Planalto Palace. , on January 8.
