The Brazilian president, Dilma Rousseff, this positive impression to the public better informed with a new style of government more technical, but more sober, efficient, demanding and specific than its predecessor, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Rousseff intended that each of the 37 ministries in his government work in the future as a company that will require concrete goals and specific accountability, rather than as a political center.In the first ministerial meeting, days ago, the president "was severe," said one of the ministers present, with those who submitted projects and programs "fanciful." Neither was happy with such large gatherings of ministers and has been divided into four groups, with a minister presiding over each of them to work more efficiently.
These are: social development and elimination of poverty, economic development and infrastructure management, and civil rights and social movements. She will participate in these meetings-with both laptops which is never separated, and confirmed the creation, under the umbrella of the presidency, the Center for Management and Competitiveness, which will be one of his advisers to Jorge Gerdau, a businessman in weight, a specialist in both subjects.
Rousseff has begun to impose some very specific rules of conduct for ministers, unaccustomed to them during the governments of Lula, which gave them more freedom, while he-who, unlike his successor, soon to be liked in the Planalto Palace, preferring the street. Meetings with ministers will be on Fridays to prevent them from leaving for Brasilia on Thursday, as he usually did.
Rousseff has enacted anti hates tardiness. All ministers have been warned they will not accept delays in the hearings marked with it, which is always the first to arrive at Planalto. In his office one can get talking on the phone. Moreover, persons who have a hearing it will have to turn off the phone so as not to disrupt the meeting.
The ministers can not talk long as they want at the meetings with the president to present accounts and projects. The heads of important ministries will have 15 minutes, and the least important five minutes. It has also imposed stringent ethical standards in public spending and official.
He has asked ministers to be restrained even privileges as the official car use or the use of an Air Force plane, common during previous governments, to go to spend the weekend in their home states. For example, in 2009 the former Minister of Justice, Tarso Genro, now governor of Rio Grande do Sul, reached 40 times using such aircraft.
Now, Rousseff has warned that its planes the Air Force can only be used for exceptional travel. Otherwise, the ministers must travel as other citizens in private companies. The president has not gone or spoken in public only once since he took office, with the exception of his visit to the area of the tragedy by the rains.
And the weekends are going on in Porto Alegre, his hometown, with his daughter and grandson. Receives none that day. For its part, Lula, true to his promise to leave his successor to work quiet the first few weeks, has not made a single statement or has given advice in public since he left office.
In his old office has gone the large crucifix work of a Portuguese artist who presided over his desk. Not because Rousseff, a former guerrilla and agnostic, it has been withdrawn, but because Lula took him with the transfer of all the gifts he had received about 14 trucks, according to the law allows former presidents.
A dead king, king post, said Lula. "Now is Dilma" said the former president. And it seems they are being.
