Bolsonaro eyes new candidate for Brazil infra minister
Brazil's president-elect Jair Bolsonaro is evaluating general Joaquim Brandão as a candidate for infrastructure minister.
Bolsonaro's future vice-president, Hamilton Mourão told a reporter from daily O Globo that Brandão "is excellent," although he added that there's another name under evaluation for the post, which he didn't unveil.
Currently, Brandão serves as an advisor for the presidency's institutional security cabinet, GSI. Mourao also highlighted his closeness to the current head of Brazil's army, General Eduardo Villas-Boas.
Bolsonaro, who had voiced his intention of naming retired military officials for infrastructure posts before, initially nominated retired general Oswaldo Ferreira for the infrastructure minister post, who reportedly declined.
The infrastructure ministry will fuse the functions of the existing transport and cities ministries, meaning that the new office will be in charge of transport, ports, civil aviation, rail, water, sanitation and urban transport sectors.
