And Jobim is a demagogue and a governist. Nobody here trusts him. - "Magnus Brasil" Sat, 28 Jul 2007 00:20:16 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8495/54/#pc_10336 Initially, the president's press office informed that Pires had offered his resignation. Pires, however, protested and a new version was given, this time stating that the minister had been fired by Lula this morning. The new defense minister should be sworn in today at 4 pm. The minister´s bumpy ride in the DEFENCE ministry ends here. But not his career. I am sure Lula will give him another Ministry ,so that he can remain in Power.Just wait and see.Pires is not that sort of guy who would give up a job and power so easily, without being offered another post. As for the new comer Jobim,it is a ploy to please the Gauchos who know him quite well. I dont think that they would fall for this charade. Remember that many of the victims of TAM were Gauchos. Try to connect it with the new appointment. - João da Silva Wed, 25 Jul 2007 18:29:01 +0100
