The vice-president-elect of Brazil, Geraldo Alckmin, will be in charge of coordinating, in Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s team, the process of transfer of power with the representatives of the current government of Jair Bolsonaro, as reported by the president of the Workers’ Party (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) was in that direction», announced Hoffmann, as reported by the newspaper ‘O Globo’.
The Minister of the Civil House, Ciro Nogueira, said that President Bolsonaro has already given the go-ahead to start the transfer of powers in the coming months, whose process 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 implement the transition.
«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 in place,» Hoffmann said.
