Renan managed to "tame" President Dilma.
The president of Congress, Senator Renan Calheiros (PMDB-AL), accomplished a mission that seemed impossible: building a harmonious relationship with President Dilma Rousseff, with whom he will have weekly meetings from now on. And he did so with the help of former President Lula.
247 - Columnist Claudio Humberto highlights in his column this Sunday an almost impossible mission accomplished by the president of Congress, Senator Renan Calheiros: that of "taming" President Dilma. Read below:
Renan achieves ambitious goal of 'taming' Dilma.
The president of the Senate, Renan Calheiros (PMDB-AL), one of the most skillful foxes in Brazilian politics, has achieved what even the most experienced, such as Senator José Sarney, could not: to "tame" the fiery President Dilma. He is already celebrating his first successes: Dilma agreed to receive him weekly, with or without the PMDB leadership, and promised to heed the senator's "advice."
OBEDIENCE
To test his newfound influence, Renan suggested to Dilma a visit to Congress. She agreed immediately: and scheduled it for this Tuesday (27).
LULA HELPED
Allies say that Calheiros convinced former president Lula, in a recent meeting, to help him in the task of trying to "tame" the president.
GREEN LIGHT
Returning the visit from Renan Calheiros, who visited the Senate a few days ago, Lula said that, as promised, Dilma was "ready".
