Brazil’s president conducts second cabinet reshuffle and announces new tourism minister

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has appointed federal deputy Celso Sabino of the Union Brazil party as the new Minister of Tourism, as announced in the Official Gazette of the Union.

Sabino is replacing Deputy Daniela Carneiro, who has stepped down from the role.

Expressing readiness to contribute to the Government, Sabino has taken up his new post as part of the executive branch’s reshuffle to expand support from middle and center-right political factions within Congress.

The Union Brazil party, possessing one of the most significant representations in the Chamber of Deputies with 59 members, is integral to this effort.

This move marks the second cabinet reshuffle undertaken by President Silva since his third term’s inception on January 1.

His previous tenure spanned from 2003 to 2010.

In the prior reshuffle this April, retired general Marco Gonçalves Dias, responsible for the Planalto Palace’s security, vacated his position as the minister of the Institutional Security Cabinet.
