Forum Magazine - Actress and former Secretary of Culture, Regina Duarte, publishes an article in Fausto Macedo's Blog, in Estadão this Friday (22), where he states that he did not sing a marchinha from the dictatorship to advocate torture, but rather “with the dream of Brazilianness and unity that I have been defending throughout my life”.

In the text, titled "What kind of class is this, comrade?", she does not express any concept nor reveal any government plan, only stating that she was the target of "unjustified criticism," to which her response was always "serenity," which "derives from a peace of mind that only those who act according to their conscience can have."

Regina states that "when I accepted President Jair Bolsonaro's invitation to head the Special Secretariat of Culture, I was fully aware that my management would be the target of criticism," which never discouraged her.
