oswaldo ferreira: Bolsonaro's pledge to return Brazil to past alarms survivors of dictatorship Read more Among the former military officers who played a central role in drawing up his policy proposals are retired generals Al ssio Ribeiro Souto who has focused on science, technology and education and Oswaldo Ferreira, who has drawn up plans for infrastructure and the Amazon, according to The Guardian. General Augusto Heleno, who ran Brazil's United Nations mission in Haiti, will be his defence minister and is seen by some as a potential moderating force. And in a country that emerged from military rule only 33 years ago Bolsonaro has prompted concerns with his pledge to include retired generals in his cabinet. Bolsonaro's three lawmaker sons Eduardo, Carlos and Fl vio are also likely to have roles. Bolsonaro's alliances with powerful agribusiness, evangelical Christians and armament lobbies give him influence in congress but he has also pledged to avoid horse-trading ministries with parties for support. Marcos Pontes, a Brazilian astronaut, has been touted as minister of science and technology.
