Rui Falcão finds the PMDB's desire for positions "natural".

Bahia 247 - The national president of the PT (Workers' Party), Rui Falcão, was in Salvador this Saturday to participate in the inauguration of the party's new leadership in Bahia and, in a press conference, commented on the PMDB's (Brazilian Democratic Movement Party) attacks against President Dilma Rousseff for more positions in the ministerial reform that is about to take place.

Falcão assessed that each party has its own way of seeking to expand its participation in the government, rejected the notion that the PT's alliance policy has flaws, and categorically stated that "in all agreements, the core principle of the project" remains the same.

"Governments make administrative adjustments dictated by secretaries or ministers who want to run for office and have to resign. It's very natural, in a coalition government, that when the president announces changes, the parties want to either maintain their positions, change them, or expand them, including the PT. I see this movement by the PMDB as natural; everyone does it in their own style," said Rui Falcão.

The leader made it clear that the PT (Workers' Party) is not seeking to increase the number of ministers. "I, on behalf of the PT, will not make demands or exert pressure, including publicly. But each ally has their own behavior, and it's not a matter of judging or reprimanding them. I believe that in the end things will be very well settled."
