Whaddya mean “quit”?! I haven’t even begun to work my mojo!!
The PMDB is scheduled to decide on whether it remains an ally in the PT coalition or formally breaks with the party.
There are 7 PMDB ministers in the Presidential Cabinet in rather important positions: Mines & Energy; Health; Agriculture; Science & Technology; Tourism; Civil Aviation; and Ports. In addition, there are most certainly a few hundred second and third tier public sector management positions occupied by PMDB appointees.
Dilma, in fact, was reported to already be discussing with other parties to appoint their personnel to those slots in exchange for their support re the question of impeachment. (How crazy is that? She could be facing impeachment in a month or so! The new appointees will have to be quick to benefit from their appointments!!)
The seven cabinet officers will also be expected to step down and some have already indicated that they are not terribly (and understandedly) keen to lose their posts.
I have to admit that it is a surprise that Brazil is even standing under its current circumstances.
If you have some projects pending in the lower management echelons of the federal bureaucracy, you might prepare for even longer delays for approvals, etc. Gotta get the old rascals out and some new rascals in!
