BRAZIL: Moderate conservatives win congress leadership race
Right-of-centre lawmakers Arthur Lira and Rodrigo Pacheco, the presidents of Brazil’s legislative chambers for the past four years, handed over power to their chosen successors on 1 February. For the second half of his term, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will have to deal with Hugo Motta at the helm of the lower chamber and Davi Alcolumbre as the next senate president. Despite this reset in the leadership of congress, Lula is expected to face challenges in managing the relationship between the executive and legislative branches of government.
