New ministers
President-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva closed the formation of the Esplanada with a record number of women at the senior level. There will be 11 ministers in a total of 37 files. Increased participation of women in government was one of Labor’s campaign promises, although it avoided committing itself to full equality in office.
Among the ministers, the first six have been announced over the past two weeks. Luciana Santos will lead the Science and Technology portfolio. Nísia Trindade will lead Health. For culture, singer Margaret Menezes was announced. Seda Gonsalves will head the Ministry of Women’s Affairs. Racial equality will be in charge of Anil Franco, the sister of the murdered councilwoman Marielle Franco. Finally, Esther Duque will head the Department of Management.
Simone Tippett will head planning, while Marina Silva will once again head environment. Sonia Guajajara will lead the unprecedented Ministry of Indigenous Peoples. Former volleyball player Anna Moser has been chosen to head the Sports Ministry and Daniela de Waguinho, the Tourism Ministry.
