This Thursday's edition of the Federal Gazette (May 12) reports the termination of all ministers in President Dilma Rousseff's cabinet. Former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who had been appointed Chief of Staff by Rousseff, is the first name on the list, followed by all the other ministers.

Also published were the terminations of 37 aides and senior roles from the Office of the Chief of Staff, the Government Secretariat, and the personal office of the now-suspended president, six of which at the officials' own request.
