Christiane Torloni is at it again! More power to her! Where is everybody else? Where is Ana Maria Braga? Why didn't she join the protest march in SP?

Minc evita polemizar com Torloni

O ministro Gilberto Gil e o secretário-executivo do Ministério da Cultura, Juca Ferreira, evitaram ontem polemizar com a atriz Christiane Torloni, que, em entrevista à colunista Mônica Bergamo, da "Folha da S. Paulo", fez duras críticas à atuação do governo na cultura. Torloni, que recentemente aderiu ao movimento "Cansei", disse que o desempenho do governo na cultura levou a nação a um "apagão cultural", referindo-se à greve dos servidores federais, que completa hoje três meses – no momento, a paralisação está suspensa para uma rodada de negociações. Indignada, a atriz sugeriu que os integrantes do governo parem de fazer festas, como as juninas promovidas pelo presidente Lula, em Brasília, e por Gil, no Rio.

– Como festejar algo sem ter soluções para a questão da cultura e dos acidentes da Gol e da TAM? – pergunta ela.

I think it must have been during the PAN that I happened to catch a glimps of Ana Maria Braga's morning program, which I am not in the habit of watching as I am not very domestic (understatement of the year). But, there she was, dressed in dark clothes, in mourning for the TAM accident victims. She stated that she would be joining the protest march in São Paulo on the upcoming Saturday morning -- a march that would end at the site of the crash. She encouraged the members of her viewing audience to join her. I was amazed! Awed! I thought: Can it really be possible? Is it really going to happen? Will Globo permit her? The next morning, she appeared in her usual white clothes and talked about recipes, and, as far as I can tell, no, she was not at the march. Why is it that Arnaldo Jabor is permitted to be nearly merciless in his criticism of the government, but Ana Maria Braga must speak about recipes?
