247 - Senator Simone Tebet told allies that she will not accept any other ministry in Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's (PT) government other than the Ministry of Social Development, responsible for the Bolsa Família program.
According to the newspaper The GlobeSources close to the PMDB member say that Tebet is adamant. The senator reportedly told allies that the doors to other ministries have already closed, and therefore, Social Development is the only option for her to actually enter the government.
Amid resistance within the PT, Tebet reportedly obtained the support of the vice-president-elect, Geraldo Alckmin. During a dinner at the home of former senator Eunicio Oliveira, the MDB officially nominated Simone Tebet for the Ministry of Social Development as the party's candidate.
