Brazilian President-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Thursday announced a final batch of 16 cabinet members ahead of his Jan. 1 inauguration, including some allies outside of his leftist Workers Party as he seeks to build a broader coalition.
Among Thursday's highlights were Marina Silva for environment minister and Senator Simone Tebet as planning and budget minister.
She will now have to tackle that same task again, helping Lula fulfill a campaign pledge after Amazon deforestation, who loosened environmental protections during his period in office. Lula, who had previously disclosed 21 of the future ministers, also tapped other moderate figures to his cabinet in order to secure support in Congress. Almost one third of the cabinet will be members of his Workers Party.
