Economist Esther Dweck’s name gains strength to command Lula’s new management portfolio

by

The name of economist Esther Dweck has gained strength in recent days to assume the new folder that will be created specifically for management.

During the Dilma Rousseff government, between 2011 and 2016, she served at the Ministry of Planning as Federal Budget Secretary.

The president-elect, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), should define more names for ministries this week.

The petista awaits the processing of the PEC in Congress and also the finalization of the judgment involving the amendments of the rapporteur in the Supreme Court. After a request for review, the STF (Federal Supreme Court) suspended the judgment, with five votes for the unconstitutionality of the rapporteur’s amendments and four for the maintenance of the mechanism provided that a series of rules are complied with.

Only five names have been announced so far. Lula disclosed that his government will have 37 ministries.

The list with the name of the folders has not yet been released. A ministry will be created for fisheries.

The Economy will still be sliced ​​into Finance, Industry and Commerce, in addition to Planning and a specific folder for management.

During the transition meetings, the idea of ​​separating budget and personnel management (short-term activities) from the preparation of projects and public policies with a long-term vision was defended.
