In December 2018, the final composition of Jair Bolsonaro's cabinet emerged after weeks of announcements and appointments. The cabinet includes 22 personnel, of which 16 are ministers, two are cabinet-level positions and four are secretaries directly linked to the presidency of Brazil.^[1] The 22 figure is down from 29 in the outgoing administration. Seven of the ministers will be military men; eight have technocrat profiles; and seven are politicians. Hindustan Times commented that "there are just two women in Bolsonaro’s government, which is double the number in the outgoing lineup under President Michel Temer", and that "there are no blacks, despite half of Brazil’s population being at least partly descended from Africans.^[2]
