The consequence was PSDB's withdrawal from the government. In December 2017, Temer said that this rupture would be "courteous and elegant." Geraldo Alckmin negotiated with the president the way in which the party would abandon the positions it held in the government and support the government's goals, including pension reform. According to the agreement, Luislinda Valois from the Ministry of Human Rights and Antônio Imbassahy from the Government Secretariat would step down from their positions, with only Aloysio Nunes from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs remaining.
