O vizinho do cão
I like how Fernanda Câncio writes.
I like to read Fernanda. Interesting articles of opinion written with
agility -I do not say in a hurry- with a wealth of words enshrined in just
phrases that seem to complete chapters of a novel with multiple themes.
If she tackles feminist activism (Diário
de Notícias, 13 Novembro 2017), she does it in a sharp and direct way, she
doesn´t shrink and declares
«Porque
sim, e isso mesmo que é preciso: que os homens reprimam os seus comportamentos
naturalizados e pensem sobre o que é ou não adequado dizer ou fazer a uma
mulher.»
Fernanda laughs and sighs when she reads in a Spanish newspaper the
physical observations of the new ministers of President Pedro Sánchez,
scandalized - the newspaper - of the hairstyles and clothing of these women,
even advising them to wear longer dresses, or use more makeup and less cleavage...
Diário de Notícias, 12 Junho 2018.
If the journalist Câncio talks about the Church, she runs into the Great
Lady, with the medieval nobility who has had the power to sweet-talk to the
States and get over any Constitution (Diário
de Notícias, 25 Dezembro 2017; 01 Janeiro 2018).
What about justice? Our journalist questions, putting examples, the use
that many judges make of their authority when they dictate sentences, believing
- like the Church - to be above the Charter of
Fundamental Rights of the European Union (Diário
de Notícias, 11 Dezembro 2017).
Closely
related to this last encounter some articles that have to do with health,
quality of life and dignity of people. For example, in the Diário de Notícias on April 9, 2018, I read about the mafias that
are taking over the buildings in the big cities, expelling from them the people
who live in them, with a view to speculating with the land.
The
hypocrisy of governments is described in Canabis,
moralism and insensitivity (January 8, 2018) and I wonder if there are
countries that are going to allow any citizen who owns a 3D printer can
manufacture his custom weapon, how is it possible that a pot that has WHO
studies and can mitigate the suffering of many people is forbidden for
medicinal use? Double moral? Insensitivity?
However,
what gives me the most pleasure are the short stories where the protagonists
can be any of us and which are written in an intimate way. A neighbor and his
dog can serve to awaken us from our world of selfies on FB, Twitter or
Instagram and see the person next to us. It is then when one feels that
Fernanda Câncio writes only for you.
