Lula Temporarily Removes Three Ministers To File 2026 Budget Amendments

The move follows a standard practice that lets ministers who hold legislative seats submit their own amendments before today's deadline.

Overview

  • Acts published in the Diário Oficial da União on Thursday formalized the temporary exonerations of Celso Sabino (Tourism), André Fufuca (Sports), and Carlos Fávaro (Agriculture).
  • Sabino and Fufuca reassume seats in the Chamber of Deputies to file 2026 budget amendments, and Fávaro returns to his Senate mandate for the same purpose.
  • The filing window for parliamentary amendments to the 2026 Budget (PLN 15/25) closes Thursday after the Chamber’s 30 permanent committees finished voting on their proposals.
  • Government notes and reporting say the ministers are expected to be reappointed and back in their posts as soon as Friday, November 14.
  • Valor reports that Ports and Airports Minister Silvio Costa Filho may also be temporarily exonerated for the same purpose.
