Overview

• Party leaders approved a resolution requiring all filiados in federal posts to request resignation within 24 hours under penalty of party disloyalty, with possible suspension or expulsion after internal proceedings.
• Tourism minister Celso Sabino, the only União Brasil filiado heading a ministry, canceled events in Belém and flew to Brasília as Lula scheduled a meeting with him for Friday.
• União Brasil accused the federal government of politically driven leaks about Rueda, a charge rejected by minister Gleisi Hoffmann as unfounded and leviana.
• Reporting says the Polícia Federal’s Operação Carbono Oculto now references Rueda after a pilot alleged he was a hidden owner of aircraft used by PCC-linked figures, an allegation he denies.
• Uncertainty remains over appointees linked to Senate president Davi Alcolumbre, such as Frederico Siqueira and Waldez Góes, as the 24-hour deadline takes effect with threatened disciplinary actions for noncompliance.
