'I can't digest this. I feel like vomiting,' says actress Leticia Colin about Regina's interview.
"My heart is broken. Families slaughtered and fascism dressed in 'Damares-pink' laughing in our faces? What is this, my God?! Words are actions," the actress stated. "My close friends and I would be being tortured under the dictatorship... Regina would be laughing at me!!!" she added.
247 - Brazilian actress Letícia Colin, who plays Leopoldina in the rerun of the telenovela Novo Mundo on Rede Globo, used social media to criticize statements made by Regina Duarte, the National Secretary of Culture in the Bolsonaro government.
The actress said she almost fainted while watching the interview and stated that Regina does not represent Brazilian culture.
“I can’t…even…write…since yesterday! Suffocating even without Covid. Yet. My heart is shattered. Families slaughtered and fascism dressed in 'Damares-pink' laughing in our faces? What is this, my God?! Words are actions,” the actress stated.
Regina Duarte downplayed the torture and deaths caused by the military regime and even hummed "Pra Frente Brasil," one of the anthems of the 1970 World Cup, which became a campaign slogan for the dictatorship at the time.
"My close friends and I would be being tortured under the dictatorship... Regina would be laughing at me!!!", he added.
