Kátia Abreu backs Alckmin for Finance, blames Lula's woes on communication

Brazilian senator Kátia Abreu publicly defends Vice President Geraldo Alckmin as a suitable Finance Minister, arguing he need not be an economist if backed by a strong team. She attributes President Lula's political disadvantage to poor communication rather than policy. This signals internal PT coalition debate over economic leadership ahead of 2026 elections.
