Flávio Bolsonaro gains support from Paulo Guedes' economic team

Members of Paulo Guedes' team have expressed support for Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, who is running for president in the upcoming elections in Brazil.

Members of the economic team of Paulo Guedes, the former Minister of Economy in Brazil, have indicated their support for Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, who is a presidential candidate for the upcoming elections. It is understood among these supporters that if elected, Flávio Bolsonaro would continue the economic policies initiated by Guedes during his father's administration. This indicates a potential continuity of the previous government's economic principles, which could resonate with voters seeking stability in economic management.

Some members of Guedes' team have clarified that, while they are doing well in the private sector and are not interested in official roles in a prospective Flávio Bolsonaro administration, they are willing to assist informally with the campaign and policy organization. This includes plans for resuming privatizations, reducing the size of the state, and implementing stricter fiscal measures. The willingness to support the campaign suggests a network of experienced individuals ready to influence Brazil's economic direction without formally returning to government.

Although the support appears to be organic and decentralized, notable figures such as former Caixa Econômica Federal president Daniella Marques and the ex-Minister of Mines and Energy are among those ready to lend their expertise. Flávio Bolsonaro's outreach includes communication with Guedes himself, who has reportedly expressed a desire to remain out of public life, but his input may still be valued in shaping the campaign's economic agenda. This support could play a critical role in establishing Flávio Bolsonaro's credibility and positioning him as a serious contender in the presidential race.
