VALE’s CEO forced out:

Brazilian mining giant Vale SA said Friday its chief executive plans to step down when his term ends in May, amid widespread reports of pressure to replace him with a political appointee. Vale CEO Murilo Ferreira won’t renew his contract when it expires on May 26, after six years on the job, the company said in a press release. No reason was given for the decision.

Murilo was himself a political appointee inserted into the CEO slot at the start of Dilma Rousseff’s presidency in 2011.

A consortium led by the federal government of Brazil owns a majority of VALE’s voting shares, so the government can have its way when it comes to selecting management.
