President Pick for IBGE Chief Alarms Government Officials

BRAZIL
  • Social Communications Minister Paulo Pimenta announced that President Lula has decided to pick Marcio Pochmann, an economist known for his heterodox views, to head up the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics known as IBGE.
  • The choice has raised concerns among members of his own government, regarding the future of the institution.
  • Pochmann’s leftist economic views are considered too extreme even by members of Lula’s economic team, who worry about damage to IBGE’s credibility, according to three government officials with knowledge of the matter, who requested anonymity to discuss the situation.
  • Lula is said to be using his recovery from a medical procedure to define the direction of a cabinet shuffle meant to accommodate centrist allies in congress, according to Valor Economico.
