President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said on Wednesday 9 that he would meet tomorrow morning with union leaders to talk about the successor of former Minister of Communications Juscelino Filho-who resigned after being condemned by the National Attorney’s Office (PGR) for corruption with the alleged deviation. The name that is nominated for the position is for the leader of the Chamber, Pedro Lucas Fernandes (Union-Ma).
“União Brasil has the right to refer me to a successor to Juscelino. I already have the name, I know Pedro Lucas, I go back to Brazil, tomorrow morning I will talk to União Brasil and if that is the case, I already discuss his appointment,” journalists, in the midst of Latin American and Caribbean and Caribbean and Caribbean and Caribbean and Caribbean
As for the situation for Juscelino Filho, Lula stated that it is a practice, since his first term, that “all people have the right to prove their innocence.” However, according to the president, when a prime minister is condemned by PGR, “it is a healthy policy that he is moving away from the government to prove his innocence and not compromise on the day -to the day government.”
“Day -Day government is a lot of work, is very practical and our Minister Juscelino is a federal deputy, he simply believes that he will prove his innocence and that is all I want,” he said.
According to the president, Juscelino’s departure and the possible entry of the varnish is not “within the process of government change” – in this case ministerial reform. Lula says he will make such changes “during the time he is interested in making.” “I have no date, I have no deadline, I have no decision. I do it when I think you have to change things.”
Lula emphasized that the change in the Ministry of Communications does not constitute the reform. “Every government change is a one -sided decision by the President of the Republic. Unless a party who has a minister wants to take the minister, he has the right to say that he no longer wants the minister, I have the right to state another who is not in that party,” he said.

According to the CEO, the reform will be made “with very calm” because Brazil lives “a good time”. “A good time in the economy, a good time in politics. We have important things to vote. And what I am pleasantly happy is that Brazil continues to grow, things are going well and there are a lot of investment in Brazil,” he said.
