Point of View

A politician and a whore

Image

By Nadiya Virna

There were once a whore and politician. She sold her body, he sold his conscience and power. The whore was selling herself for three hundreds bucks, him, he was selling himself for some millions bucks and a term in office. Sometimes, their ways crossed: he was used to buy her flesh. Surely, for public money. It was found out, the state kicked her out in the street, and now, as if to mock at, it offered her some pay.

So they lived. Both of them served: a public service for him, and, say, a specific service for her. 

He was used to serve in the daytime, she was used to serve by night. He was preparing himself to be elected, she was preparing herself to be selected. He worked with electors, she worked with clients. He promised to make everyone happy tomorrow, she made happy someone just now.

…Politician saw in her nothing but a mean whore, someone without any right, someone you could hit or insult. But try only insulting him! He has his immunity. Law is on his side. And she is outlawed, ousted from society. An outlawed more or less, not so important: this is Ukraine, gosh!

PS.17 December, is the day against violence to sex-worker. On the most of European countries prostitution has been decriminalized and legitimized. There, the state surveys continuously prostitution. But, the ours is too hard busy with a political one.
