Cabinet Rousseff I
The Rousseff I cabinet was the current government of Brazil from January 1, 2011 to January 1, 2015. It was led by President Dilma Rousseff . After her first term, she ran again and was elected for a second term. At the beginning of the term of office, the Rousseff I cabinet comprised seven ministers as well as the Union Advocate General and the Union Inspector General for Public Finances, who also sat in the previous cabinet. It is the result of a coalition of the large parties Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT), which have already emerged as an electoral alliance, led by President Dilma Rousseff and the Partido do Movimento Democrático Brasileiro (PMDB) under Vice-President Michel Temer and the small parties Partido Democrático Trabalhista (PDT), Partido da República (PR), Partido Comunista do Brasil (PCdoB), Partido Socialista Brasileiro (PSB), Partido Social Cristão (PSC), Partido Republicano Brasileiro (PRB) and Partido Trabalhista Cristão (PTC). The Partido Progressista (PP) did not participate in the electoral alliance, but spoke out in favor of Rouseff's presidency and later also joined the coalition.
