When does this take effect? From what I read, my understanding is prostitution can still occur in parque lleras, but not after 1 am.
Correct?
[QUOTE=NilAdmirari;2905576]Here's a Google translate of the front page report in today's newspaper (El Colombiano):
Medellin's Mayor's Office prohibits supply and demand of sexual services in El Poblado and premises will have to close at 1:00 am.
The two measures, which include the prohibition of the practice of prostitution for the next six months, aim to counteract the sexual exploitation of girls, boys and adolescents after finding a foreigner with two girls in a hotel in that area of Medellin.
As promised during a press conference held last Sunday, March 31, the mayor of Medellin Federico Gutirrez announced this Monday drastic measures to counteract the sexual exploitation of girls, boys and adolescents in the city.
This Monday, the local president announced that his office decided to prohibit "the demand or request for sexual services or related activities" in commune 14, El Poblado, for six months.
Specifically, Gutirrez ordered the temporary suspension of the demand or request for sexual services and related activities as well as their promotion and advertising in any format in the public space of the area.
The measure taken by the Mayor's Office of Medellin covers a polygon that extends to the surroundings of El Poblado Park, Provenza, Lleras Park, La Presidenta linear park and surrounding residential areas.[/QUOTE]
