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.
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:
She was also involved in the short-lived polemic organization Cansei.
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. At first, she did not accept the job, but on January 29, Duarte announced after a meeting that she had decided to accept the position. On March 4, 2020, she took office as the fourth Special Secretary of Culture in Jair Bolsonaro's government.
Duarte's time as secretary had no shortage of controversies, the most recent of which happened on May 7. 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.
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, 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. Her successor as Special Secretary of Culture was Mário Frias, who took office on June 23, 2020.
