Political career
Ramos was appointed by Bolsonaro to replace General Santos Cruz as government secretary on 13 June 2019 after Cruz had public clashes with the radical ideological wing of the government, including Bolsonaro's son Carlos, and the writer Olavo de Carvalho. Cruz was the third cabinet member to be dismissed since Bolsonaro's inauguration, and Ramos' appointment kept the number of military men in Bolsonaro's cabinet at 8 out of 22 positions.
