Jair Bolsonaro’s team is gathering C-level names from the private sector to hire for key government positions, in case he wins the presidential runoff on Oct. 28th. Many are already close to Paulo Guedes, the candidate’s key economic advisor.

The list has names like Alexandre Bettamio, Bank of America’s CEO for Latin America, João Cox, president of the board at cellphone carrier TIM, and Sergio Eraldo de Salles Pinto, from investment firm Bozano Investimentos, where Guedes is CEO.

This is what Brazilian voters are likely to expect if Bolonazi wins (this is whom the IMF is hoping will win):

The two have expressed support for each other, not surprisingly. Bolsonaro went further, lauding Macri for "getting rid of 'Dilma' Kirchner."

Thanks for posting this, Judi. It gives people real insights into the policy aspects of a potential Bolsonazi regime, and what lies behind the noise and bluster.
