[2] During his career, Abramo worked for O Estado de S. Paulo, achieving the status of secretary (editor-in-chief) of the newspaper.

Years later, just when the Brazilian military dictatorship began, he started working at Folha de S.Paulo, reaching the same status he earned in Estado.

In the 1970s, he was nominated again, editor-in-chief, but, in September 1977, the publication of an article by Lourenço Diaféria, considered by military hardliners to be demeaning to the memory of the civic patron of the Brazilian Army, the Duke Of Caxias,[4] offered the opportunity to the military to pressure for Abramo's removal as editor, which was achieved as a reconciliation token arranged by Abramo's successor to the position, Boris Casoy, whose ties to the military allowed him to act as go-between for the paper's owners.

In 1979, he left Folha and started working with Mino Carta in the short-lived Jornal da República.

[6] He was awarded twice by foreign governments: by the Italian government, for his illegal works for the Italian resistance during World War II; and by the People's Republic of Poland, for his support for anti-Nazi movements in Poland.
