“A businessman from the industry affirmed that he supports Lula da Silva, but he can change his mind because Bolsonaro tends to keep the economy minister, Paul Guedesa liberal economist,” while the former president does not reveal who his minister would be, Folha de Sao Paulo published today.
Lula obtained 48% and Bolsonaro 43% in the first shift last Sunday, where the polls gave an average of 50% to the candidate of the Workers’ Party (PT, left)against 36% of the applicant of the Liberal Party (PL), right).
Folha spoke with a banker who said he was “surprised” with the good performance of the ultra-conservative president, and does not rule out a victory in the second round, which changes the scenario. Jair Bolsonaro has broad support among the business community and the agribusinesswhich highlight their agenda of privatization and neoliberal reforms.
In that sense, it was mentioned that on Monday the São Paulo Stock Exchange rose more than 5% portraying the good mood of the market because Lula da Silva will have to go to a second round and will be forced to accept more changes in his economic policy.
For his part, the economic analyst Carlos Alberto Sardenberg, from the Globo group, pointed out that there is an “expectation” in the market that Lula will appoint a “reliable” person as head of Economy as Henrique Meirelles.
Meirelles was president of the Bank of Boston and the leftist leader appointed him to head the Central Bank of Brazil during his two terms, between 2003 and 2010. Affiliated with the Union Brazilfrom the right, Meirelles announced his support for Lula’s candidacy a few days before the first round of voting.
The market also welcomes Lula da Silva’s running mate, the former governor of São Paulo. Gerald Alckmin, that comes from PSDBa center-right party historically linked to the business establishment.
