PT governors make offensive by command of Codevasf – 01/18/2023 – Panel

The four PT governors, all from the Northeast region (BA, RN, CE and PI), began a joint offensive to appoint the new head of Codevasf, a body linked to the Ministry of National Integration with strong capillarity in the region.

PT supporters assess that, by running structuring projects and having a robust budget, Codevasf strongly influences local politics. Therefore, they understand that the body could not remain under the influence of União Brasil, the party that opposes them.

The PT did not indicate names for the position, but defined a profile: they want a prepared manager, who has passed through federal agencies or experience in public management.

In the Jair Bolsonaro government, Codevasf was under the influence of federal deputy Elmar Nascimento (União Brasil-BA), being a central piece in the distribution of funds through the rapporteur’s amendments. It was also the target of irregularities that are under investigation by the Federal Court of Auditors.

As revealed by Sheetthe federal agency donated and installed cisterns in homes marked with Elmar Nascimento propaganda stickers on the eve of the election.

In addition to the PT and União Brasil, Codevasf is also disputed by the PSB of Pernambuco, which plans to nominate a trusted name of the mayor of Recife, João Campos, for the position.

The pessebists are also eyeing the command of Banco do Nordeste, a position for which the name of former governor Paulo Câmara (PSB) is evaluated. The nomination, however, depends on changes in the State Law, which is still being discussed in the Senate.
