Romero Jucá Filho (pronounced as /pt-BR/; born 30 November 1954) is a Brazilian politician and economist. He represented Roraima in the Federal Senate for 24 years, from 1995 to 2019.[1] Previously, he was governor of Roraima from 1988 to 1990.[2] He is a member of MDB.[3] On 5 April 2016, he became the president of the MDB, succeeding Michel Temer.[4]
In the past, Jucá and other family members were the owners of two television stations in Roraima, TV Caburaí[5] and TV Imperial.[6]
On 23 May 2016, a secret recording emerged of minister Jucá, who is under investigation in the multibillion-dollar kickback scheme at state oil company Petrobras, discussing a purported pact to stall a huge corruption probe that has engulfed much of the nation.[7] The secret tape also revealed him plotting to topple President Rousseff.[8] After the newspaper O Globo, highly critical of Rousseff, posted an editorial urging the interim president to fire his right-hand man,[9] Temer accepted the temporary departure of his minister.[10] [11]
