Henrique Meirelles Brazilian Democratic Movement (MDB) @meirelles Date of Birth: 31 August, 1945 (age 72) Hometown: Anápolis, Goiás Education: Civil Engineering, University of São Paulo; MBA, Federal University of Rio de Janiero Running mate: Paulo Rabello de Castro - Social Christian Party (PSC) Political History Although Henrique Meirelles has been a prominent voice in Brazilian politics in the past two decades, he began his career in finance, spending 28 years at the U.S.-based multinational BostonBank. In 2002, Meirelles ran successfully for federal deputy as a candidate of the Social Democracy Party (PSDB). The following year he resigned to serve as president of the Brazilian Central Bank under the newly elected President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, of the PSDB archrival Workers Party. During his time as the bank’s president, Brazil’s international reserves increased from $37.6 billion to $288.6 billion. Many attribute Brazil’s stability during the 2009 global recession to Meirelles’s influential role in the government. In 2012, Meirelles left government to take senior positions with both Kohiberg Kravis Roberts, a global investment firm, and J&F, a private investment holding company. However, in 2016, he returned as Minister of the Economy in Michel Temer’s newly-formed government, following the impeachment of Lula's successor, President Dilma Rousseff. In 2018, Meirelles stepped down in order to run for president. Corruption Meirelles has not been convicted of any crimes. However, he was among those mentioned in the Paradise Papers, a large set of confidential documents detailing the offshore bank activities of thousands of wealthy individuals. For Brazil to become a first-world economy, it is necessary to continue implementing the [economic] reforms as proposed."

• Nos Últimos Dias, Jair Bolsonaro Intensificou a Distribuição De Material Pelo Whatsapp E Também a Presença Nas Redes Sociais
• Nos últimos dias, Jair Bolsonaro intensificou a distribuição de material pelo WhatsApp e também a presença nas redes sociais. É o candidato que mais se mexe e conta com uma estrutura cada vez mais profissional. • Os irmãos Marinho cobraram de Luciano Huck uma decisão se ele sai ou não candidato. E flertam com o ministro do STF Luís Roberto Barroso. • O PPS quer Luciano Huck, mas sofre com a escassez de dinheiro e de tempo de TV. Seu plano B se chama Cristovam Buarque, que lançou seu nome para a presidência e propõe fazer do jornalista Ricardo Noblat candidato ao Senado por Brasília. Noblat gosta da ideia de herdar a cadeira de Cristovam e tem até abril para se filiar ao PPS. • No PSB, é enorme a expectativa pela filiação do ex-ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) Joaquim Barbosa, outro potencial candidato a presidente. Marina Silva está quieta demais. Seu partido, a Rede, não empolga, e sua saúde continua sendo um problema. Ciro Gomes (PDT) ainda não aconteceu, e Henrique Meirelles (PSD) tem mais potencial para vice do que para titular. • No PSDB, esfacelado por brigas internas, o principal nome é o do governador Geraldo Alckmin, até aqui um candidato pesado, como indicam as pesquisas. Aos 86 anos, Fernando Henrique Cardoso já dá sinais de que não acharia ruim se uma candidatura – por pura falta de opção e de preferência por aclamação – acabasse caindo no seu colo. Tanto Michel Temer quanto José Sarney anotaram essa impressão em conversas reservadas. • A candidatura de Lula tem como única proposta repetir o passado e começa a dar sinais de que pode se inviabilizar por fadiga de material.

Television time, an instrument hitherto used as a fundamental tool for consolidating votes has proved not to be individually enough to leverage a candidacy. PSDB's candidate Geraldo Alckmin made alliances with the center parties to get as much television time as possible, and because of the negative aspects of those alliances and the failure to identify voters' aspirations, he was not able to grow ST in the polls. Alckmin won the party election and lost the 1 ROUND TIMELINE popular election, with a hesitant and failed campaign and in being the anti-PT candidate and the third way.
