247 - Jorge Paulo Lemann, businessman and partner at Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world's largest brewery, took the first step towards forming his own organization with the elections in mind. During an event for the Estudar Foundation, created by him and his partners Marcel Telles and Beto Sicupira, he highlighted that the six members of the institution, graduates of foreign universities through scholarships and who will be running for deputy and governor positions for different parties, have the mission of delving deeper into politics to "transform Brazil".
"I hope that some of them will be elected, and that this will create a current of good people in the government," said Lemann at the event, held this Monday (6). He also said he hopes that in the future some of the students awarded scholarships from his foundation, created 27 years ago, may become President of the Republic.
"I'm neither left nor right. I'm in favor of good people who like to work together with others and who will address the real problems of the country, instead of fighting," he added.
