RED LIGHT DISTRICT (Bragança). Ainda o caso das meninas de Bragança publicado na "TIME" em 20 de Outubro.É curioso dar uma olhadela a umas poucas cartas dos leitores, publicadas na edição desta semana que recebi em casa.
Note-se a diferença de impacto entre os leitores portugueses e os de fora.
"...Why focus on the sex trade, wich exists in most big cities? What irritates me is that on the world stage, Portugal has a dearth of publicity. This story misrepresents us. Portugal is a great country with a rich history, a wonderful culture and delicious cuisine. The economy is vibrant (?!?) and the country is a must-visited for traveling golfers. Why do not speak of the plethora of charms rather than one small unatractive aspect that needs to be cleaned up? Your report was sensationalistic and worthy only of cheap tabloid."
JOSEPH F. JAKOB Cascais, Portugal (ganda radicado hein?)
"All of bragança's nightclubs would fit into a tiny part of Amsterdam's red quarter. There is more to our tomn than just prostitution."
LUIS COSTA Cascais, Portugal
"Congratulations to Amanda Ripley and Martha del Cal for their story on the meninas from brasil now plying their trade in Bragança. As a Portuguese female and journalist myself, i appreciate the fact that this Time cover story has done more expose the backwardness and hypocrisy of the male-dominated Portuguese society, than any coverage of a similar subject in Portugal itself. Thank you for your guts."
MARIA PONS, Joanesburg
"I am Portuguese, living in Canada, and i hope that with your article the Portuguese press learn more about journalism and regarding their own people.
VANDA MARTINS, Toronto
" The report on the Brasilian prostitutes who have moved into bragança was well written and researched, but despite the link to the border issue of globalisation, putting this on the cover of your magazine was in poor taste. To draw global conclusions about an issue as old as prostitution on the basis of what has happened in Bragança is like using a fallen tree in Central Park to say that forests are endangered across the U.S."
FERNANDO LOPES Lisbon
