      Bahia 247 - Lawyer Sílvio Pinheiro was appointed on Wednesday (21) to head the FNDE (National Fund for the Development of Education), of the Ministry of Education. The body will have a budget of R$ 67 billion in 2017 and is responsible for executing the ministry's basic education policies, such as school transport programs, school meals, teaching materials and the construction of daycare centers.

      Pinheiro is a long-time ally of the mayor of Salvador, ACM Neto (DEM), and in the Urban Planning Secretariat he was responsible for controversial measures such as the new Master Plan for Urban Development of Salvador, which will allow the construction of taller buildings on the coast of the capital of Bahia.

      In that role, he was also responsible for issuing the building permit for the "La Vue" building on Ladeira da Barra. The building was at the center of a controversy with Iphan (National Institute of Artistic Heritage) that resulted in the dismissal of then-Minister Geddel Vieira Lima (PMDB).
