Personal life

Capiberibe is the son of zoologist João Capiberibe and teacher Janete Capiberibe. He is an alumnus of the Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas,[2] and has a master's degree from Université de Montréal.[3] Both his parents have ties to politics, with his mother also serving as federal deputy and his father being the past governor of Amapá.[4]

His parents were involved in the socialist movement before his birth but fled to Chile after the 1964 Brazilian coup d'état, where Carlos and his twin sister Luciana was born. He also has a younger sister named Artionka who is an anthropologist. With the 1973 Chilean coup d'état and overthrow of Salvador Allende by Augusto Pinochet, his family fled again this time to Canada.[3]

In his youth Capiberibe was part of several university student political groups, including the Aliança Nacional Libertadora (ANL) or National Liberating Alliance. After graduating from university he became the secretary of organization of the state executive of the Brazilian Socialist Party.[3]
