Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, the leading right-wing candidate in Brazil's upcoming presidential election, has bolstered his campaign team with the addition of Adolfo Sachsida, the former Minister of Mines and Energy. Sachsida will focus on strengthening the campaign's economic platform, working alongside Daniella Marques, the former chief executive of state-owned lender Caixa Economica Federal.
Marques has been a visible presence at campaign events and in media interviews. The campaign also announced the inclusion of economist Adriano Pires and lawyer Alexandre Chequer, who will provide advice on energy and infrastructure policy.
