Kátia Regina de Abreu (born 2 February 1962) is a Brazilian politician. She has been serving as the
Democratic Labour Party (PDT) in March 2020.[2]
On 23 December 2014, President Dilma Rousseff appointed Abreu as Minister of Agriculture, to serve during the president's second term, amid controversies among environmentalists, including the group Greenpeace.[3] Abreu took office on 1 January 2015 during Rousseff's second inauguration.[4] Abreu was fired on 12 May 2016, after president Rousseff was suspended by the Senate and vice-president Michel Temer was sworn as acting president, being replaced by Blairo Maggi.[5]
On 23 November 2017 she was expelled from the
bid for presidency.[6]
