Época: Will Dilma be up to the task?
Palocci's resignation is the subject of the cover story, which addresses the weight of the state in the economy. The magazine features an internal article praising the president's independence, but highlighting her political and economic challenges.
The weekly magazine Época, published by Editora Globo, praises the independence shown by Dilma Rousseff in dismissing Minister Antonio Palocci and appointing Gleisi Hoffmann to the Civil House, stating that "the change in the Civil House is the transformation of the government." However, it highlights the political challenges arising from the decision, especially regarding the relationship with the PT and PMDB parties. The report also emphasizes that the president is facing economic difficulties due to high inflation. In another article, it describes Minister Gleisi as "a poodle in her personal life, a pit bull in politics" and draws a profile of the new strong woman in the Planalto Palace.
The cover story, titled "Estado Ltda" (State Ltd.), features a groundbreaking study that "dissects 675 companies with federal government participation." The magazine's conclusion: "the urgent need for privatizations."
