Official in charge on Friday, the new communications minister, André Figueiredo (PDT), voiced what the Presidential Palace knew even before announcing the cabinet reshuffle: the rearrangement of positions in the first step does not grant Executive support auto Allied not sure votes against the likely applications for impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff.
"Of course in projects that violate principles of people, as manifested with extreme advance our willingness to vote contrary," he said when commenting on the PDT's position in Congress. Labour had already declared "independent" of the government even though, in the old composition, Manoel Dias in front of the Ministry of Labour. With musical chairs, the difficulty of taming the Allies continues. In voting in the first government of the tax package Dilma, the bench of nineteen PDT deputies voted 100% united against the guidance of the Presidential Palace. About to put to vote new economic measures to tackle the current economic crisis, pedetistas keep the indications that remain unfaithful to Dilma. "With respect to fiscal adjustment, have criticized the economic model being placed and we want within the ministerial team show alternatives that might enable them to be out of this economic crisis that feeds back the political crisis," said Figueiredo.
The high rate of infidelity among supposed allies of the Presidential Palace will also be replicated in parties that won today more power in high-ranking government. Although the PMDB has been awarded seven ministries (Agriculture, Mines and Energy, Ports, Civil Aviation, Tourism, Health and Science and Technology) in retirement, the leader of the PMDB in the House, Leonardo Picciani acknowledge that the PMDB "have their positions. " Main coordinator of the ministerial reform side of Congress, Representative also acknowledged the constraints of party to the sewing done in recent weeks, but said the whole joint was made in agreement with most of the PMDB. "Of course we (PMDB) have our positions, but most party gives full support to Dilma. The party has their positions and their opinions, and giving when deem necessary. But the country's governance is and always has been the commitment of the PMDB. We are confident and satisfied with reform, "he said.
In talks to host allies in government and to appease the spirits with Vice President Michel Temer, President Dilma gave up, for example, to merge the Department of Civil Aviation, which houses the PMDB Eliseu Padilha, the Ministry of Transport, keeping with ministerial status. However, Padilla signaled that the administrative reform will be presented nor sufficient to guarantee the return to good with the allied base. "The words of the President were eloquent She said.... 'This is just the first step' I've been told nth times that the economic crisis requires the solution of the political crisis There is now a first step toward solving it but one can not say that the work is completed. "
