247 – After influencing his affiliation with the PMDB party, former president Lula wants to place businessman Josué Gomes, son of Vice-President José de Alencar, in the Finance Ministry. According to him, the president of Coteminas is highly respected in the productive sector and can rebuild the bridge between President Dilma Rousseff and the business community.
The president anticipated that, in case of re-election, she will make changes to her team. Minister Guido Mantega will leave his post in 2015, by mutual agreement with Dilma.
Lula also believes that the Central Bank's board of directors should be replaced and that figures like Jaques Wagner, who elected his successor as governor of Bahia in the first round, should gain prominence in the government.
