Bolsonaro appoints a soldier who defended diverting funds to encourage the use of weapons as Secretary of Culture

MADRID, 7 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The still president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, has appointed this Wednesday as the new Secretary of Culture André Porciuncula, a former captain of the Military Police, who already last month defended diverting funds for audiovisual productions to spaces where they would be promoted. the use of firearms.

Bolsonaro's decision to change the head of Culture to 25 days to finish his term, who in his cabinet has the status of a Special Secretariat, not a ministry, is motivated by the departure of the previous incumbent, Hélio Ferraz, heading to the Government of Tarcísio de Freitas in the state of Sao Paulo.

Porciuncula, who is considered a far-right provocateur in Brazil, is the seventh Secretary of Culture since Bolsonaro was president and has returned to the Government after trying unsuccessfully to win a seat as a deputy.

Within Culture, he had been assistant secretary under the leadership of Mário Frias, taking advantage of the position to support the arms projects of a Bolsonaro who made this one of his main campaign promises, as well as to dismantle some of the main public policies in support of the sector.

It is common to see the new, albeit ephemeral, Secretary of Culture on social networks posing with large-caliber firearms along with other Bolsonaro associates, and even with some of his sons.
