Flavio Bolsonaro expands campaign team with former minister and market experts
Flavio Bolsonaro announced that ex-minister Adolfo Sachsida and several market figures have joined his campaign’s policy team.
On Tuesday, Flavio Bolsonaro revealed that his presidential campaign has recruited former Mines and Energy Minister Adolfo Sachsida to reinforce its economic agenda, reporting that Sachsida will work within a team led by Daniella Marques, who previously headed state lender Caixa Economica Federal and served as a close aide to Paulo Guedes. The announcement also introduced economist Adriano Pires and lawyer Alexandre Chequer as advisors on energy and infrastructure matters.
To develop policies aimed at women, the campaign added former Goldman Sachs Brazil vice-president Carolina Ragazzi and activist Lyvia Montezano. While the platform calls for fiscal reforms to curb public debt and adjust labor costs, it does not detail implementation methods, and a finance-minister nominee remains undecided. Polls indicate President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva ahead, though a narrow runoff with Flavio Bolsonaro is projected. The moves aim to broaden the candidate’s appeal ahead of the October election.
Why it matters
The staffing changes signal a push to broaden Bolsonaro's economic credibility ahead of Brazil's pivotal election.
