Overview

  • Sabino informed President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on September 19 and plans to submit his resignation letter after Lula returns from New York on September 25.
  • He has led the ministry since July 2023 and was closely involved in preparations for COP30 in Belém, with his exit coming about two months before the summit.
  • With his departure, the Tourism portfolio will move to its third minister in Lula’s third term, and a replacement has not been announced.
  • Press reports linking União Brasil president Antonio Rueda to the PCC are being examined by the Federal Police, which the party and Rueda deny.
  • Sabino, a federal deputy from Pará, intends to return to his seat in the Chamber of Deputies, which will end the tenure of substitute Pastor Cláudio Mariano.
