Zema launches government program in April, with former Guedes advisor helping in the economic sector
Romeu Zema, poised to leave his position as governor of Minas Gerais, has announced the launch of his presidential government program in São Paulo on April 16, with significant input from notable economic advisors.
Romeu Zema, the current governor of Minas Gerais and a member of the Novo party, is set to officially launch his presidential program in São Paulo on April 16. This event marks a crucial step as he prepares to transition from his governorship to presidential candidate. The document outlining his government's guidelines will be significantly influenced by economic advisors, including Carlos da Costa, a former member of Paulo Guedes' team at the Ministry of Economy, and Luiz Felipe D´Avila, who was the presidential candidate for the Novo party in 2022.
As he gears up for the launch, Zema is expected to resign from his position, handing over the responsibilities to his deputy, Mateus Simões, who will pursue reelection. Following his resignation on April 22, Zema plans to focus entirely on his presidential campaign, which will involve a series of travel engagements. His itinerary will kick off with an event in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, centered around agricultural initiatives, catering to Brazil's significant agro sector.
Additionally, Zema has confirmed attendance at an investment event in New York in May, indicating his strategy to attract international support and investment for his presidential campaign. His approach seems to underline a commitment to economic themes and investor engagement as he seeks to position himself as a viable contender in the upcoming presidential race.
