According to the deputy, Lula “abdicated the role of statesman” by appointing the former head of Secom as minister of State Reconstruction
The federal deputy Aécio Neves (PSDB-MG) stated that the choice of Paulo Pimentaformer head of Secom (Secretariat of Social Communication), for the position of Minister of Reconstruction of Rio Grande do Sul will result in a “conflict” between the State government, headed by Eduardo Leite (PSDB), and the new body.
According to the congressman, the appointment represents a politicization of the situation in the State and a type of “intervention by the federal government in Rio Grande do Sul”. Aécio’s statements were made in interview with the program “The Three Powers” from the Lookpublished on Friday (May 17, 2024).
“Everything we didn’t need at this moment is a gesture that, in practice, politicizes something that should be built with generosity, harmony and detachment”he said.
Aécio also stated that the president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) “he abdicated the role of statesman” when appointing Pimenta to the new government position. According to him, the PT member stopped leading the “process of saving lives and rebuilding the State”.
“The moment he politicizes these actions, he [Lula] does a huge disservice to those who are suffering and who need harmony from the authorities”, he said.
