PT flags
The PT prioritizes two ministries in the current negotiation phase with political parties: Social Development and Education. There is a dispute with MDB and PDT for these folders.
Regarding the Ministry of Social Development, the PT considers that the region has historically been tied to the party by the banner of fighting hunger and opposes the transfer of the portfolio to Senator Simone Tebet (MDB).

The MDB is complicating Tebet’s nomination for the ministry, saying the election would be within Lula’s personal quota and would have to hand over one ministry to a lawmaker and the other to a senator.
basic support
The president maintains his intention to nominate Tebet for the first tier, which he sees as a campaign commitment.

To be or not to be
