The elected vice president of Brazil, Geraldo Alckmin, will be in charge of coordinating, in Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s team, the process of transferring powers with the representatives of the current Government of Jair Bolsonaro, as reported by the president of the Party of the Workers (PT), Gleisi Hoffmann.
“Geraldo Alckmin is the vice president of the Republic. He has more than legitimacy and political and institutional power to lead this. The decision of the president (elect) went in that direction,” Hoffmann announced, as reported by the newspaper ‘O Globo ‘.
The Minister of the Civil House, Ciro Nogueira, has indicated that President Bolsonaro has already given the go-ahead to begin the transfer of powers in the coming months, the process of which is expected to begin on Thursday and will take place at the Banco do Brasil Cultural Center.
Alckmin, from the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB) and the former governor of Sao Paolo, will lead a team of 50 people, which will also include Hoffmann and former minister Aloizio Mercadante, who coordinated the government program for Lula’s candidacy, to put transition underway.
“Our proposal is to go to Brasilia, have a face-to-face meeting with whoever is part of the (Bolsonaro) government that will make this transition so that we can put the transition team into operation,” Hoffmann said.
