BTG’s senior partner is close to Gilmar and will participate in debate in the forum, as well as other members of the bank.
The departure of authorities to events such as the Lisbon Forum has been questioned in recent years because of spending and lack of transparency about this information. In the evaluation of critics, there is also possible conflict of interest as a result of the presence of entrepreneurs with STF processes.
Defenders of the meetings say follow the legislation, praise the opportunity to discuss relevant topics and deny the possibility of influence on judgments, on the grounds that ministers live with all sectors of society.
