Scheduled to speak at the ministerial meeting on Wednesday (17/12), the head of the Social Communication Secretariat (Secom) of the Presidency, Sidônio Palmeira, gave at least two guidelines to his fellow ministers.
In his speech, according to reports, Sidônio demanded that other ministers no longer say “federal government” but rather “government of Brazil” — a term that appears in the Lula administration’s new slogan launched in August.

Another direction given by the head of Secom was that ministers use their social networks and their speeches not only to exalt their respective actions with those of other government ministries.
