La Pampa: A mayor does not want to close a strip club because it gives “spiritual support”
Luis Rogers, the mayor of Lonquimay, a village in La Pampa on the side of National Route 5, does not want to close a burlesque club. He says it is a place of “spiritual support” for young people and an establishment that provides a service for truckers and travelers.
The controversial statements by the mayor Luis Rogers emerged after the Pampas town councilors discussed at a regular meeting to prohibit the installation of nightclubs and brothels according to the newspaper La Arena.
Before this initiative, Rogers said that if the Council decided to adopt such legislation, he’d veto it.
“A burlesque club is a place of spiritual support of satisfaction and joy. Many people who are single can have some entertainment” . It’s what happens “in many parts of the country and the world,” he said when interviewed by journalists of Radio News.
The town’s head explained that, before opposing the closing of the burlesque club, he made research on the subject. “I counseled with a policeman who told me that the closure of brothels and burlesque clubs caused drug trafficking and minors trafficking,” he said.
That doesn’t happen in Lonquimay because Good Night is regulated. In this regard, he stressed that their owners “pay their licenses” and that women who work there are subjected to regular “gynecological exams”.
Moreover, Rogers assured that “there in Lonquimay there are no minors.”
“I went to many burlesque clubs and brothels, abroad as well,” remarked the official. And he added: “When I did I went to see a show, have a drink and then I left.”
