The publication stated that Kayath was one of the names considered to take over the Ministry of Economy in a possible government of Flávio Bolsonaro. According to the author, in an interview with Estadão, Kayath emphasized that he was not part of the campaign or the coordination of the economic program; the author deemed this stance appropriate as it prevented his statements, even if distorted, from affecting the campaign. The author mentioned as part of Kayath's background his work as a banker, his collaboration with Lemann, and his support for Lula in 2022. He expressed understanding of the concerns that these backgrounds could generate, although he did not consider them a problem given the current situation. What, according to the publication, caused discomfort was Kayath having considered — or having considered in the past — Bolsonaro "crazy" and not contesting the characterization of those involved on January 8 as coup plotters. The author assessed that Kayath supported Flávio but believed there were coup plotters within bolsonarism, and that a coup would not occur because Flávio would respect the institutions. He stated that Kayath still needed to understand that, in his view, Bolsonaro and bolsonarism had always respected these institutions. The publication also mentioned that Kayath was in favor of abolishing reelection and stated that he could reconsider his positions over time and with more information. #Economia #Bolsonaro #Política (translated)
