·15 min·1 clip

President Lula accuses Governor Caiado of wanting to sell Brazil's rare earths to the United States.

The episode begins with host Fabiana Puccinelli discussing political appointments in Goiás under Governor Daniel Vilela. She notes that Vilela has filled 19 first-stage vacancies, with nine holders leaving due to electoral incompatibility rules. Only two positions remain: Secretary of the Federal District and Goiás Turismo. For the Federal District, Vilela appointed Rafael Henrique da Silva Lustosa, former chief of cabinet to State Deputy Dr. Azeli, who moved from Union Brasil to PSD. For Goiás Turismo, Roberto Naves initially considered a federal deputy candidacy but withdrew, indicating Paulo Henrique da Farmácia, though Vilela has not finalized this. The episode then transitions to a national political clash. President Lula accused Governor Ronaldo Caiado and Flávio Bolsonaro of wanting to sell Brazil to the United States in rare earths negotiations. Caiado had signed a memorandum of understanding with the U.S. State Department on March 18 to cooperate on critical minerals exploration. Lula criticized this as unconstitutional, claiming states cannot act in areas under federal control. Caiado responded by accusing Lula's government of being slow and incompetent in rare earths policy. The discussion delves into the technical aspects of the memorandum, noting it allows for confidential mapping and potential exclusivity, raising sovereignty concerns. The host emphasizes the need for a legal and strategic debate beyond political rhetoric, questioning whether the memorandum violates federal competencies or merely accelerates international cooperation. The episode concludes by highlighting the ongoing political tensions and the unresolved appointment for Goiás Turismo.
