BRASÍLIA – After controversy over the appointment of his son to the advisory services of the presidency of Banco do Brasil, the
Vice President
Antonio Hamilton
Mourão
plans to make a "quiet interim" at the country's leadership during President Jair Bolsonaro's visit to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, from 22 to 25 January. Mourão, who promised not to be a decorative MP during the campaign, should focus only on signing routine acts.
The period of Mourão's presidency will be extended so that, upon his return to Brazil, Bolsonaro undergoes surgery to remove the colostomy bag. The procedure is scheduled for January 28 at the Israelita Albert Einstein Hospital in São Paulo. He has not yet determined how many days Bolsonaro will be stripped of his duties to recover.
The Vice-President also adopted a discretionary power from the beginning of management. After the elections, he was invited to badume a function of "manager" of the government, coordinating the ministries, but ended without specific attribution on the set.
Without a specific task in government, Mourão is busy attending official events and receiving businessmen and parliamentarians in his office. He also participated, with Bolsonaro, in the two ministerial meetings, but according to the interlocutors, it will act only at the request of the president.
Although no task is entrusted to him, he is restructuring the vice-presidency, which was extinguished when Michel Temer came to power after the dismissal of the former president Dilma Rousseff.
60 positions
He also surrounds badistants who can help him make proposals to the government. The MP will have special advisory services in the legal, military, diplomatic, institutional and communication fields. There will be 60 positions available. The structure has not yet been published in the Official Journal and its employees must identify themselves as visitors to gain access to the work.
Throughout the campaign, Mourão drew attention for his statements that caused unease among the allies. Among them, he said that only mothers and grandmothers are "inadequate factories". He then compared the thirteenth treatment and holiday pay to "Brazilian jabuticabas". Bolsonaro had warned him three times to be reckless in his statements. The fourth time, it was banned in social networks. In the transitional government, the deputy was also asked to be more sober. Mourão denies having received such recommendations.
Last week, the member came back to the fore by announcing the promotion of his son Antonio Hamilton Rossel Mourão as special adviser to the presidency of the Bank of Brazil. In an interview with GLOBO, he denied that the case created a discomfort with Bolsonaro.
– Useless (to talk to the president). It's an internal matter at the institution, which is a S.A. (company) – said the deputy, who considers the controversy as a "dead affair".
Saturday, the President of the Federal Supreme Court, Dias Toffoli,
refused a request for an injunction against the appointment of the son of Mourão
. The action before the Supreme, which questioned the indication, had been filed by a citizen. Toffoli understood that the request did not meet the requirements established by law, such as "the exhaustion of administrative channels" and therefore could not continue to be tried in court.
