Vice President-elect coordinates transitional government; President addressed political allies in Brasilia
the elected president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (EN) denied this Thursday (10.Nov.2022) that the vice-president-elect, Geraldo Alckmin (PSB), will be a minister in his government. The former governor of São Paulo was among those quoted to take over the Ministry of Finance.
“I insisted on putting Alckmin as coordinator of the transition so that no one would think that the coordinator will be a minister. He does not run for ministerial position because he is going to be vice president of the Republic”said.
