BRAZIL: CNN Brasil Report Suggests Haddad Be Named as Lula Chief of Staff

BRAZIL
BulletEM BulletEmerging Market News
  • "*LULA IS SUGGESTED TO NAME HADDAD AS CHIEF OF STAFF" CNN BRASIL
  • Details here regarding the latest CNN Brasil headline suggesting Haddad could be named as President Lula’s chief of staff. According to the report, Lula‘s allies suggest Esther Dweck, Minister of Management and Innovation, to replace Haddad as Finance Minister.
  • The headlines come amid President Lula shuffling his cabinet in an attempt to improve both his party support and popularity as elections in 2026 edge nearer. As a reminder, Lula fired Health Minister Nisia Trindade on Tuesday and replaced her with Institutional Relations Minister Alexandre Padilha, giving Lula the chance to name a new face to the key role of leading political negotiations with congress.
  • Lula has not yet announced who will take up the post, but one option that has been touted is Gleisi Hoffmann, president of the Workers’ Party. She represents the more leftist wing of the party and is a vocal critic of Finance Minister Haddad.
  • Lula is said to resist removing current Chief of Staff Rui Costa, however, Lula‘s advisors promote Haddad for the role because he could be a counterpoint to the eventual presence of Hoffmann in government.
