The article discusses the controversial proposal by French far-right lawmaker Jean-Philippe Tanguy to legalize brothels in France, suggesting they be run as cooperatives by sex workers themselves. While the idea seems progressive, the reality reveals that 97% of sex workers are exploited by pimping networks, raising concerns about the feasibility of such a transition. Additionally, the irony lies in the fact that most sex workers are foreign nationals, contradicting the anti-immigrant stance of Tanguy's party.
