Trade in the Low to Netflix Filming
The Union of Commerce and Services Associations (UACS) welcomes the filming of the Netflix platform in downtown Lisbon, considering that it promotes the city and benefits traders, despite the protests of the parish council.
The president of UACS, Carla Salsinha, stated that the position of traders “is clearly in favor of trade” to initiatives that promote “beneficiary to trade”, although they understand “as legitimate” the concern of the president of the Parish Council of the Santa Maria Maior sector.
“There is no negative reaction from any of the companies that are in the zone where the filming is going to take place. At least, we understand with certainty the type of initiative of a platform, and each time we are sure that it is a bigger city, Netflix understands each time with certainty the promotion to a promotion platform also as such, in statements to Lusa.
Before that took place one of the last executives to bring the city of Lisbon this type of effort designed and projected from Lisbon to the mayors of all the projects that take place throughout their parishes. .
Carla Salsinha added that the benefit that these footage brings to the image of the city and the neighborhoods where it takes place “largely surpasses this small room” for the residents.
“We can only be a little apprehensive about the position of the president of the junta. That it is natural for the residents to be concerned, but I believe that, having in the residents the residents who also feel in their own conscience, they are also motivated by having this feeling of conscience of their own residents, because it is also a pride, considered by themselves.
The Parish Council of Santa Maria Maior, in Lisbon, spoke out against a filmmaker in the area for “eight nights in a row”, anticipation for July, because they penalize the right to rest and mobility of residents.
“These are night shots that imply closing blocks, entire streets, changes in traffic, which imply noise, shooting scenes, crashing cars, motorcycle chases on stairs, which we find very difficult to achieve. […]even for the bad example they will set to people, so we are worried”, said the president of the Parish Council of Santa Maria Maior, Miguel Coelho (PS), referring that the planned plan is for “eight nights in a row”, between 18:00 and at 08:00.
The mayor stressed that he realized that the filming is “an exceptional circumstance”, with “a very large return for the Lisbon municipality”, but it has been disputed that the executive of the financial board has been excluded from the authorization process of this night filming plan presenter Ready To Shoot, in a production for Netflix.
Miguel Coelho’s expectation is that the Lisbon Chamber, presided over by the social democrat Carlos Moedas, “will naturally seek to sensitize the producers to resize the project, the filming period in Santa Maria Maior”, with an eventual distribution to other areas. of the city.
