President Jair Bolsonaro still backs Brazil’s pro-market policies, Economy Minister Paulo Guedes said in an interview with O Globo newspaper published on Sunday. That’s despite some delays to their implementation due to political timing amid social protests in the region.
“We were on a path to reform, and suddenly the confusion in Latin America begun,” Guedes said, according to the Rio de Janeiro-based newspaper. “Mess, disorder, then the political timing begins to change.”
