247 - In describing Minister Henrique Meirelles as "competent" in an interview with Rádio Capital in São Paulo on Tuesday the 12th, President-elect Dilma Rousseff signaled that she might keep him in his position if the impeachment is overturned in the Senate. One of the senators who supports Meirelles's continued tenure is Cristovam Buarque (PPS-DF). This praise was also addressed by the columnist. Natuza Nery:
Far from the ghetto Dilma Rousseff's discreet praise of Henrique Meirelles (Finance Minister) was carefully considered. The ousted president has been strongly advised to signal that she will maintain Temer's economic team should she reassume power. These gestures will be made gradually. To return, Dilma will also send messages of changes within her political team. The tactic is to sell a project of governability, including fewer PT (Workers' Party) members in leadership positions. However, the chance of reversing the situation in the Senate is still seen as remote.
To move you. Dilma called Meirelles a "competent person." But she was never a fan of the minister.
For You The praise was directed at a specific person: Cristovam Buarque (PPS), who proclaimed himself undecided on the impeachment, has already said he wants to see the economic team kept in place.
