Brasília – Shortly before midnight last night the government announced that the new minister of Tourism will be deputy Gastão Vieir (PMDB) of Maranhão. He substitutes Pedro Novais, also PMDB from Maranhão, who resigned amid charges of improper use of public funds.


Vieira is 65. He was elected to the Chamber of Deputies for the first time in 1995. He has served twice as a state secretary (Education, and Planning and Budget).
