According to journalist Josias de Souza, Brazil's economy minister, Paulo Guedes, "contented himself with a domestic solution to fill the vacancy of the president of the BNDES". For Souza, Guedes accommodated "a third-level adviser" in the position of the top echelon of the Economics portfolio, was Gustavo Montezano, who has only 38 years old and served as special assistant secretary of Privatization and Disinvestment.
According to the newspaper Correio Braziliense, Paulo Guedes "ran against time to try to contain the sangria with the resignation of Levy, announced virulently by Bolsonaro on Saturday (15.Jun.2019) in the morning. The home-based solution was chosen to avoid further upheaval. The government did not want to hear a series of 'no', as many serious people were afraid of the President's rant."
