Ministerial Team Lula 4: João Campos, Gleisi and Haddad
João Campos was called by the Planalto Palace during the Pix crisis to discuss digital strategies. Gleisi Hoffmann and Fernando Haddad, despite not winning the votes, are being considered for the upper echelon of a potential Lula 4. Simone Tebet is also mentioned, including for the STF.
The Palácio do Planalto triggered the mayor of Recife, João Campos (PSB), in January 2025, to discuss digital strategies amid the communication crisis generated by the alleged taxation of Pix. The information is contained in an exclusive survey obtained by the Boca no Trombone Portal. The movement signals that Campos, even without a federal mandate, is seen as a key piece in the political and communicational articulation of the government.
In addition to him, other names emerge behind the scenes to compose the ministerial team of a possible fourth term of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Gleisi Hoffmann and Fernando Haddad, although they did not win the ballots in recent elections, are expected to return to the top echelons of the petty federal management. The source did not detail the exact positions, but indicates that both are considered for prominent positions.
João Campos and the Pix crisis
João Campos was called by the Planalto Palace during the communication crisis of the federal government, in January 2025, to discuss digital strategies as a result of the alleged taxation of Pix. The mayor of Recife is recognized for his strong presence on social networks and for his ability to dialogue with the young electorate. The source did not detail whether the invitation came directly from President Lula or from palatial ministers.
The Pix crisis generated strong negative repercussions for the government, with the spread of fake news about an alleged collection of transfer taxes. In this context, the digital expertise of João Campos was considered strategic to contain damage and reverse the narrative. The rapprochement between the PSB and the PT, parties that already form part of the allied base, can be further strengthened with this collaboration.
Campos, who has already been quoted to dispute the government of Pernambuco, maintains good traffic with national leaders. His eventual participation in a future Lula 4 government, although not officially confirmed, reinforces the bet on young cadres and connected with the new media. The source did not detail whether there would be a formal invitation to a ministry.
Gleisi and Haddad at the top
None of them have won the ballots and should return to the top of the federal administration. The claim refers to Gleisi Hoffmann and Fernando Haddad, both defeated in recent majority elections. Gleisi, the national president of the PT, did not win an elective term in 2022, while Haddad was defeated in the 2018 presidential contest and in the government of São Paulo in 2022.
Despite the defeats, the two remain with strong influence in the party and in the government. Gleisi is appointed as a possible minister of political articulation or other strategic portfolio. Haddad, a former finance minister, is listed for Casa Civil, one of the most important positions in the federal government. The source did not detail whether there would be immediate changes or whether the names were speculation for a possible fourth term.
In the case of Haddad, the dispute over Casa Civil is not simple. Senator Camilo Santana (PT-CE) is the favorite for the portfolio after coordinating Lula’s campaign at the turn of the second round. Santana, former governor of Ceará, has the confidence of the president and has already demonstrated skill in political articulation. The source did not detail how this internal dispute will be resolved.
Simone Tebet and STF
Simone Tebet, former senator and lawyer, is also listed as one of the names for Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) that Lula will have to indicate in the fourth term. Tebet, who held the presidency in 2022 and then supported Lula in the second round, is seen as a name of a technical and moderate profile. The source did not detail whether she has already been formally consulted about the possibility.
The nomination for the STF is one of the most coveted prerogatives of the President of the Republic. Lula, if re-elected, will have to appoint at least one new minister, depending on retirements. Tebet, graduated in Law and with a role in the Senate, meets constitutional requirements for the position. The source did not detail whether there are other names on the list.
In addition to the STF, Tebet is also remembered to compose the ministerial team. She has already joined the Lula 3 government as Minister of Planning, but left the post to dedicate herself to personal projects. His return, in any position, would be seen as a nod to the political center. The source did not detail whether she would accept a new invitation.
Scenario for Lula 4
Lula’s fourth term is not yet confirmed, as it depends on a presidential election. However, the joints are already beginning to draw what the future ministerial team would be. The source did not detail whether the conversations were official or just behind-the-scenes speculation. The Boca no Trombone Portal will continue to monitor the developments.
For the reader of Ponta Grossa and Campos Gerais, the definition of the ministerial team directly impacts federal public policies, such as transfers for health, education, and infrastructure. The region, which historically relies on recursos federais, can be benefited or harmed according to the profile of the ministers. The source did not detail whether there would be Paranaense names in the composition.
Meanwhile, the Lula 3 government continues to face challenges of communication and political articulation. The Pix crisis, which motivated João Campos’s drive, exposed the need for a more robust digital strategy. The source did not detail whether there will be changes in the Media Secretariat.
In summary, the names of João Campos, Gleisi Hoffmann, Fernando Haddad and Simone Tebet circulate behind the scenes as possible members of the ministerial team of an eventual Lula 4. The information, obtained exclusively by the Boca no Trombone Portal, shows a government attentive to digital communication and the assembly of a political team for the coming years. The source did not detail official deadlines or confirmations.
