After ten months of resistance, President Dilma Rousseff gave in and overhauled his government to try to stop the process of impeachment that germinates in the House of Representatives. From Monday, the public administration shall be regulated by former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and the PMDB, true balance in the political arrangement that can keep the presidency in his chair, or dislodge it.
Friday, Dilma cut eight of the 39 folders before existing, less than expected, and do not you take the negative distinction of being surrounded by one of the largest ministries in the world - Barack Obama manages the world's largest economy aided by 22 secretaries. The positive effect of ministerial dehydration should be the end of 3000 commissioned positions in Brasilia. The rest of the measures there is more populist than significant reflection in the Budget: the salaries of ministers and own Dilma - 30934.70 real - will be reduced by 10% and first class flights are suspended.
In the political chess, the anti-impeachment operation delivered seven folders with robust budgets in pre-election year, the PMDB. It is the largest fair share already granted to the party since Lula took office in 2003. The PMDB not only gained ground, but indicated two members unfamiliar to head the Health and Science and Technology, folders equipped with high capillarity programs in constituencies and parliamentary amendments ready to be released in bulk. Next year, a significant part of the PMDB bench should go to the polls to try a mayor's term or will endeavor to elect allies in the corners of the country. The cuddle the bench MPs is an attempt unmasked to keep at least two-thirds of sixty wards parliamentarians against the will of the mayor, Eduardo Cunha (PMDB-RJ), to make the impeachment run and take Dilma's office until the end of the year.
In the case of the PT, is misleading to think that the party lost power. In addition to dispatching the disaffection Mercadante's Presidential Palace - was relocated in Education - Lula installed one of his best friends at the head of Staff, Jaques Wagner, and a physiological name in the new Department of Government, Ricardo Berzoini. The latter has been president of the PT, has roots in the labor movement and dialogue with social movements, attributes considered crucial by Lula in a year marked by street protests against Rousseff and the PT's image dilapidation. That is, the government will be conducting the hands of Lula.
After 275 days of resistance, Dilma did what he wanted and set up a provisional government to face the worst days of political and economic crisis that still will come.
