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]
