A trip to Brasília
Onyx Lorenzoni said that a meeting is likely to take place tomorrow morning (Oct. 30) with figures close to Bolsonaro aimed at discussing “basic administrative matters.” He said that the president-elect is to remain in Rio de Janeiro and should only go to Brasília next week, adding that the talks with the President Temer’s transition team should only begin in November 5.
However, some of Bolsonaro’s allies say he is preparing to come to Brasília tomorrow. He must assemble the group to take part in the transition at the office built at the Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil in the capital. He may name up to 50 people, but fewer than the minimum 20.
