The next governor of Pernambuco, Raquel Lyra (PSDB), stated that it is “guaranteed” the institutional relationship between the state executive and the government of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT) during his mandate.
The former mayor of Caruaru defended the relationship between governments to meet the demands of the State. She says that during the current mandate there was no dialogue between the governor Paulo Câmara (PSB) and the president Jair Bolsonaro (PL).
“The government belongs to Brazil and I will govern Pernambuco. I will act for PT and non-PT members”said Lyra in an interview with the newspaper The globe released this Wednesday (Dec.28, 2022). “The institutional relationship is guaranteed. I’m going to Brasilia to pass the hat and ask for resources, yes”.

“We have an opportunity to rebuild. We will work so that our governments deliver public policies with transparency and responsibility”he declared.
Regarding the position that will be adopted by the PSDB during the Lula government, the next governor defended the independence of the acronym in congress. For Lyra, this would not mean, for example, failing to defend common interests, but rather adopting a critical stance in relation to the government.
“In some moments, the PSDB will vote together with the government and its allied parties, yes. Within the party there is an internal moment of reconstruction and debates about our flags and positions. If we need to be critical, we will be. If it is in favor of Brazil, we will be too. I defend independence and the option not to occupy ministries, so that we have critical positions”said the governor-elect.
