Overview

• O Globo reports that Guilherme Boulos is likely to be nominated to lead the Secretaria-Geral of the Presidency and that he told President Lula he would stay through the term, which would bar a 2026 Chamber bid.
• PSOL leaders plan to center deputy Érika Hilton and the party’s opinion-driven vote to sustain its 2022 performance, with internal estimates that she could reach about 700,000 votes.
• Party and PT figures are floating Natália Szermeta Boulos as a possible congressional candidate to retain the Boulos name on the ballot, while Boulos and Hilton declined to comment publicly.
• The prospect of entering the government has reopened tensions in PSOL given a prior resolution favoring distance from ministries, even as figures like Luciene Cavalcante emphasize defeating the far right and reelecting Lula.
• Incumbent minister Márcio Macêdo stated Lula never discussed a change with him and affirmed cabinet shifts are the president’s prerogative, as the Secretaria-Geral’s role in mobilizing social movements remains under scrutiny.
