Sex acts in public and the gossip staining the image destination. The picture shows a young lady approaching a car driver in his vehicle at night. Police patrols are forcing constant movement of those involved in prostitution, as they move on prostitutes and customers when they see them, but the intervention lasts just a few minutes.
In truth they have just spread out the prostitutes onto more streets, and they are now more wise to dodging police patrols. Every one knows about it, but they must understand that they are damaging the lives of people and business" he says.
A local resident says that prostitution now involves youngsters, male and female, saying "it is the crisis is driving these people to subject themselves to these things". It seems strange covering this after several years of reading the newspapers, with the subject almost never mentioned, but in just the space of a week it has become front page news.
All this clamp-down has achieved is front page and unwanted internet coverage for something undesirable, but now for more than one reason. From yesterday certain generic medicines became free for pensioners who are on income below the national minimum wage. The new measure only applies to doctors prescriptions for holders of the health service medical card. Because of some communication problems some pharmacies were unable to implement the new measures on time, but it should all be resolved very soon.
This was an initiative from national government, so applies to all of Portugal. Dancing, musical moments, and theatrical animation, marked the International Day of the Child. The stands of fruit and vegetables in the Mercado dos Lavradores Funchal Fruit Market became the stage and props for all sorts of acts, in an initiative organised by Funchal Council.
