The Bolsonaro administration was challenged on Tuesday (8th) to explain why Antônio Hamilton Rossell Mourão, son of vice president Hamilton Mourão, has been promoted to a special advisory to Banco to special advisor to the president of the state bank Banco do Brasil Rubem Novaes. The appointment goes against one of Bolsonaro's main campaign promises, which was the end of political alliances influencing cabinet positions and nepotism in government.
With the new executive-level job came a salary raise that will triple his current wages to R$ 36,300 (US$ 9,800) monthly.
A civil servant working at Banco do Brasil for almost 20 years, Rossell Mourão was previously an advisor in the agribusiness division, where he had been for 11 years. His wife also works at the bank.
The vice president's son promotion had other employees scratching their heads. Such a sudden change and sharp raise are unusual, they said.
