Lula Government
Sidônio Palmeira, head of the Secretariat of Social Communication (Secom), plans to stay in office until the end of Lula's term and appoint his partner for the re-election campaign. Political scientists warn that this does not eliminate the risk of using public resources for electoral purposes. The change aims to separate the president from the candidate but raises concerns about conflicts of interest.
