A report from the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper. informs that "Bolsonaro is trying to contain a move by the centrist bloc, which has signaled to the government that it could delay the pension reform. He has committed to making meetings with leaders routine, although he has not set a schedule. Onyx has adopted a pragmatic tone, addressing the demands of congressmen.
According to the article, "the absence of Minister Santos Cruz (Secretary of Government), a general who is in Kenya for a UN meeting on peacekeeping missions, was interpreted as a sign that political coordination will be the exclusive domain of Onyx." Despite this, in yet another indication of the difficulties to come, it is Santos Cruz who maintains the best relationship with the Speaker of the House, Rodrigo Maia (DEM-RJ), since Gustavo Bebianno left the General Secretariat. Maia has been the main guarantor of the reform in the House and is an adversary of the Minister of the Civil House.
