Gilberto Prazeres and Bruna Cavalcanti_247 – President Dilma Rousseff (PT) is expected to arrive in Pernambuco next week to fulfill a series of administrative agendas, including the inauguration of the Pelópidas Silveira Hospital in Recife. It is not yet confirmed whether the visit will take place next Tuesday (8) or Wednesday (9), due to the president's international commitments. She is in France, where she is participating in a G-20 meeting, and is expected to extend her stay in Europe with visits to two other countries.

Following Dilma Rousseff's agenda in Pernambuco are the inauguration of the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco (UFRPE) campus in the municipality of Cabo de Santo Agostinho (Recife Metropolitan Region), the delivery of the Pirapama water supply system in the same city, and the inauguration of a City Academy in the state capital.

The last administrative agenda will have a symbolic character. The Academia das Cidades project, which originated in Recife during the first term (2000-2004) of former mayor João Paulo (PT), was elevated, this Thursday (3), to the status of a national program, under the name Academia da Saúde. The delivery of the equipment, which will be located in the “Chié” community, will represent the beginning of a new phase for this type of structure.

The presidential visit is expected to conclude with the awarding of medals from the Order of Cultural Merit, by the Ministry of Culture (Minc). The head of the ministry, Ana de Holanda, will be alongside Dilma at the ceremony. There is also a possibility of a dinner at the Palácio do Campo das Princesas. This will be the president's third visit to the state this year.
