Approved by Bolsonaro, Feder is rejected by Olavo de Carvalho's followers and the military.

247 - About to take over the Ministry of Education (MEC), the businessman and current Secretary of Education of Paraná, Ricardo FederHe is being targeted by the ideological wing of Jair Bolsonaro's government, as well as members of the military wing, who do not want him to take over the ministry. 

According to the newspaper report The State of S. PaulThe ideological wing, composed of followers of the guru of Bolsonarism, Olavo de Carvalho, has been questioning the fact that Feder has ties to the governor of São Paulo, João Doria (PSDB), an adversary of Jair Bolsonaro. According to this group, the choice of Feder would aim to appease the business community and reduce the climate of war in the Ministry of Education, which has already had three ministers dismissed in just a year and a half of management. 

The military, however, wants the position to be filled by someone they've nominated, someone with more political clout. Since Feder's name gained traction in the ministerial race, the military has been publicizing "inconsistencies" in his resume, such as the fact that his Lattes platform indicates he is "in progress" with a Master's degree in Economics from the University of São Paulo (USP). However, the Paraná State Department of Education website assures that he holds a "Master's degree in Economics".

Feder is also suspected of evasion The report also alleges that the businessman faces rejection from the evangelical caucus in Congress, despite being linked to the centrist political bloc, due to tax evasion by the company Multilaser, of which he is a partner.
