On her first day as Special Secretary of Culture, actress Regina Duarte fired the president of Funarte (National Arts Foundation), Dante Mantovani . Mantovani had assumed the position in December of last year.
Mantovani's dismissal was published in the Official Gazette of the Union along with the appointment of Regina Duarte to head the culture ministry in the Bolsonaro government.
Regina Duarte dismissed other heads of cultural bodies: Camilo Calandrelli (Secretary for Promotion and Incentives to Culture); Reynaldo Pereira (Secretary for Creative Economy); Marcos Azevedo (Secretary for Copyright and Intellectual Property); and Rodrigo Junqueira (Secretary for Cultural Dissemination and Infrastructure). All belonged to the "Olavo de Carvalho wing" of the Culture Ministry. Their replacements have not yet been announced.
Last year, Dante Mantovani said that rock music "activates drugs, which activate sex, which activates the abortion industry ." According to him, abortion associates people with Satanism, which he claims is present in the music of the Beatles and John Lennon .
Mantovani has not yet commented on what happened.
Wikimetal hopes he finds his way.
