Kassab's PSD party will also gain influence at Caixa.

247 – In a move to secure the party's support for the government, the Dilma government will "gift" Gilberto Kassab's PSD party with a new prestigious position. In addition to the Ministry of Micro and Small Enterprises, promised to the vice-governor of São Paulo, Guilherme Afif Domingos, the party is expected to occupy the vice-presidency of Caixa Econômica Federal, which is in its final stages of creation.

In addition to the ministry, Kassab's PSD party is going to Caixa Econômica Federal.

It is said that everyone carries their own cross. In the underground of Brasília, someone is carrying two. A politician with little religious regard, Gilberto Kassab is not bothered. Whipped by the PT in São Paulo, he is being comforted by Dilma Rousseff in the capital.

It was already known that Kassab's PSD party would secure a ministerial position in Dilma's government, to be entrusted to the current vice-governor of São Paulo, Guilherme Afif Domingos. It has now been revealed that the party of José Serra's close friend will also amass parts of the Caixa Econômica Federal (a state-owned bank).

In Brasília, the PSD will take over the newly created portfolio for Micro and Small Businesses. At Caixa Econômica Federal (a Brazilian bank), it should occupy at least one vice-presidency focused on serving the same clientele. This is something currently being developed.

If it depends on the Planalto Palace, Kassab's cross will weigh heavily on Eduardo Campos' shoulders. To make himself a viable candidate in 2014, the PSB's new presidential hopeful needs to expand his television exposure. He was counting on the PSD's advertising time. By reaching an agreement with Dilma, Kassab will hand over his electronic assets to the PT.
