Regina Blois Duarte (born 5 February 1947) is a Brazilian actress who briefly served as Special Secretary of Culture, a cabinet position in President Jair Bolsonaro's federal administration, from March to May 2020. ^{[1] [2]}

Political activities

Her efforts against former Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (of the Workers' Party) in the 2002 elections caused considerable controversy. Duarte appeared in a TV advertisement saying that she was afraid of what could happen to Brazil if Lula won: ^{[3] [4]}

I'm afraid. It's been a long time since I had this feeling. Because I feel that Brazil in this election is at the risk of losing all the stability that has already been conquered.

She was also involved in the short-lived polemic organization Cansei . ^{[5] [6]}

Special Secretary of Culture

Following Roberto Alvim's controversy and subsequent removal from office in January 2020, Duarte was invited to be Special Secretary of Culture. ^[7] At first, she did not accept the job, ^[8] but on January 29, Duarte announced after a meeting that she had decided to accept the position. ^[9] On March 4, 2020, she took office as the fourth Special Secretary of Culture in Jair Bolsonaro's government. ^[10]

Duarte's time as secretary had no shortage of controversies, the most recent of which happened on May 7. ^[11] During an interview with CNN Brazil, Duarte minimized the negative aspects of the Military dictatorship in Brazil, such as assassination and torture. When questioned by a fellow actress, Maitê Proença, about her plans to help artists during the COVID-19 pandemic, Duarte abruptly ended the interview. ^{[12] [13]}

On May 20, 2020, Bolsonaro posted a video to Twitter in which, alongside Duarte, he announces her transfer from Special Secretary of Culture to president of Cinemateca Brasileira, ^[14] an institution in São Paulo responsible for the preservation of Brazilian audiovisual production. In the video, Duarte states that, while living in Brasília, she misses her family, and that a transfer to São Paulo would mean she could live with her relatives again. ^[15] Her successor as Special Secretary of Culture was Mário Frias, who took office on June 23, 2020. ^[16]
