The inauguration ceremony for the new president of Caixa will be well-attended.

Daniella Marques will assume the presidency of Caixa later today, at 16 PM, with one of her focuses being the fight against harassment and violence against women — an issue that her predecessor could never address.

Jair Bolsonaro's allies will fill the venue this Tuesday for the inauguration of the new president of Caixa Econômica Federal, Daniella Marques. In addition to Arthur Lira and Rodrigo Pacheco, Bolsonaro invited a host of other officials to show that the government is behind the woman who will take over the bank and investigate the allegations of sexual and moral harassment against her predecessor, Pedro Guimarães.

The master of ceremonies for the event will be presenter Ana Hickman, who, six years ago, was the victim of an attack by a fan who broke into her hotel room with the intention of killing her. In front of Jair Bolsonaro, who will be present at the ceremony, Daniella will say that she wants to take advantage of the crisis to make Caixa a kind of champion of this cause in Brazil.

Since her appointment was announced, Daniella has stated that she will reshape Caixa's culture to prevent new cases of harassment from occurring within the institution. The bank's president, a trusted associate of Paulo Guedes, received government approval to proceed with all harassment investigations against the previous management.

The speech is impeccable. What is unknown is what Bolsonaro's reaction will be. This is an issue on which the president usually falters, to use a verb he has already used.

New president of Caixa announces three new directors.

The new president of Caixa, Daniella Marques, announced this Monday (4) three new names for Caixa's directorates: Danielle Calazans, who was Secretary of Corporate Management at the Ministry of Economy; Alexandre Mota, and Caroline Busatto – who was Undersecretary for the Development of Micro and Small Enterprises, Entrepreneurship and Handicrafts at the ministry.

In an interview with GloboNews , Daniella – who takes office tomorrow, succeeding Pedro Guimarães – said that she will personally get involved in the allegations and open a direct channel of communication with the women of the institution – and that she hopes for help from all employees to build a new culture within the company, shaken by the exposure of a series of abuses and moral and sexual harassment revealed last week and which will be investigated by the TCU (Brazilian Federal Court of Accounts).

“I am planting a seed,” she told GloboNews. “I will not only count on the 35 women at Caixa, but also on all the Caixa employees, because they have mothers, daughters, wives.”

Daniella said that Celso Leonardo Barbosa, vice president of the bank's Wholesale Business area, has already resigned. In addition to him, the president's chief of staff, as well as five other of the twenty strategic advisors to the presidency, have already been dismissed by her decision. Her plan, she stated, is to replace all 20 advisors and promote thematic studies.

"I have to turn the page, and I have to focus on the citizens served by Caixa and the employees who are proud to work at Caixa," he said.

The Public Prosecutor's Office requests an investigation to determine whether Pedro Guimarães held multiple positions at Caixa Econômica Federal.

The Public Prosecutor's Office has asked the Federal Court of Accounts to investigate the accumulation of positions held by Pedro Guimarães while he was head of Caixa Econômica Federal. According to information received by the Public Prosecutor's Office from the Federal Court of Accounts, Guimarães was a member of 21 deliberative councils of the public bank and received R$ 230 monthly for these roles.

Earlier, as we reported, the Court of Auditors also initiated proceedings to investigate allegations of sexual harassment involving Guimarães.

According to the complaint filed by the Public Prosecutor's Office with the Federal Court of Accounts, the Federal Constitution prohibits "the paid accumulation of positions, jobs, and functions in the direct administration."

"The rule, therefore, is non-accumulation, which aims to prevent the same individual from holding several positions or performing several functions, being paid for each of them, without efficiently carrying out the activities pertinent to them," states the representation from the Public Prosecutor's Office.
