There is no deadline for the new appointment. Lula leaves for China this Tuesday, where he returns next Sunday (16). At a breakfast with journalists at the beginning of the month, the president said he was “in no rush” to make the nomination. “The choice of his replacement [Lewandowski] will be made by me at the moment I think I have to do it,” he said.
So far, the only name mentioned publicly by Lula was that of lawyer Cristiano Zanin, who defended him in the Operation Lava Jato processes. In recent weeks, pressure and campaigns by other candidates have intensified, especially a woman, preferably black. Lula, however, has refused to make any commitment regarding the nominee's profile.
Before taking office, the president's nominee must be examined by the Senate's Constitution and Justice Committee (CCJ) and then approved by the House plenary, by an absolute majority (41 votes).
