Biography
[edit]Sidônio Palmeira was born in Vitória da Conquista on March 1, 1958,[1][2] and graduated in engineering from the Federal University of Bahia, where he participated in the student movement and served as vice-president of the Central Student Directory between 1981 and 1982, on a ticket formed together with Lídice da Mata.[3]
He began working in communications in 1992, when he joined the campaign team of Lídice da Mata (PSDB) for the mayoral election of Salvador that year.[4]
He participated in the gubernatorial campaigns of Workers' Party (PT) candidates Jaques Wagner and Rui Costa in Bahia's 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2018 elections.[5] He also worked on the presidential campaigns of Fernando Haddad and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in the 2018 and 2022 elections, respectively.[4]
Between 2023 and 2024, although not yet part of Lula's government, he helped prepare the president's speeches and organize party events.[5]
On January 14, 2025, he was appointed and sworn in as Chief Minister of the Secretariat of Social Communication of the Presidency of the Republic, succeeding Paulo Pimenta.[6][7] This is analyzed as a way for Lula da Silva to embark on a more ambitious communication on the government's action in the run-up to the 2026 elections.[8][9]
