Paulo Gedes’ political isolation in Congress

Paulo Gedes, as Radar showed in this week’s VEJA, hasn’t shaken his prestige at Planalto because of the offshore companies he supports abroad.

The wearing of “PG” in the palace exists, but, according to the presidential aide, it is of a different nature: “He failed in politics. There is no way that there is no vote coming from the GP in Congress, ”says one minister.

Until recently, the Guedes crises were associated with Arthur Lira and the leaders of the center, who even asked Bolsonara to change the minister. Now, in addition to the lack of movement in the House, Gedes has also caused crises in the Senate.

Bolsonaro’s team of political articulation in the legislature is struggling to move forward in their economic agendas. Guedes’s statements in lectures and interviews irritated senators, for example, when discussing the income tax reform associated with the new Bolsa Família.

Guedes said, for example, that Rodrigo Pacheco will demonstrate to the country that he is “not worried” about the new Bolsa Família if he does not continue his income tax reform.
