Lula faces internal pressure to announce his cabinet.
The president-elect, who might have postponed the cabinet announcement until December, is expected to begin doing so this week.
247 - President-elect Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) has been facing internal pressure to announce who his ministers will be, according to the Valor Econômico.
Pressure may yield results: Lula, who was only going to announce his cabinet in December, may begin to do so this week.
"Sources consulted by Valor informed that the work developed by the technical groups could proceed more satisfactorily with the appointment of some ministers. PT interlocutors mainly cite the importance of Lula not missing the 'timing' for choosing the head of the Finance Ministry. The definition, they argue, would be important to indicate the fiscal commitment of the new term, but also so that the future minister can lead the transition process of one of the most important portfolios in the federal government. Former Minister of Education Fernando Haddad, the PT's defeated candidate for governor of São Paulo, is one of those considered to head the economic team of the new government," the report says.
Senator Simone Tebet (MDB-MS) voiced the pressure on Lula to define his Minister of Economy, saying that the name of the minister – or minister – could “avoid noise”. Behind the scenes, the version circulating is that the president-elect did not like the statement from his allied parliamentarian.
A faction of the president-elect's allies say that the name of the Minister of Economy may not appear in the first round of announcements, precisely to mark a position indicating that the new government will not give in to the financial market.
"According to some allies, the delay in defining the initial names has signaled a lack of opportune timing in generating positive communication agendas before the government even takes office," the article also states.
