President Lula (Workers' Party) will gather the entire Esplanada (Spanish Esplanade) for the second ministerial meeting of the year this Tuesday, the 26th .

With the 2026 presidential campaign a year away , Lula intends to reinforce with his ministers the need to speed up inaugurations and complete ongoing projects, especially those under the New PAC (Promoting Growth Acceleration Program). The Planalto Palace fears that stalled construction sites will become ammunition for the opposition.

In addition to infrastructure works, measures with a direct impact on the population will be on the agenda, such as expanding the income tax exemption for those earning up to 5 thousand reais , the creation of the Gas Voucher for low-income families and the discussion of changes to the Minha Casa, Minha Vida model for the middle class.

New slogan

The Minister of Social Communication, Sidônio Palmeira , is expected to present the administration's new identity to his colleagues. The motto will emphasize the Brazilian people and national sovereignty, in line with the patriotic shift the government has adopted in recent months , especially after the friction with the United States. The speech seeks to associate national programs and symbols, such as Pix, with the idea of ​​independence and national pride.

Regulation of big tech and reaction to the tariff hike

Another focus of the meeting will be the alignment of discourse on bills regulating the digital sector. Lula is expected to instruct the ministers to publicly defend proposals to regulate social media, anticipating resistance in Congress and pressure from the tech lobby .

On the economic front, the government will also discuss the response to US President Donald Trump 's tariff hike , which hit Brazilian exports and reignited the debate on defending national production.
