Journalist Leda Nagle was criticized on social media after supporting a statement by former governor Romeu Zema about child labor. Nagle reported that she worked at the family store at ages 9 and 10 and said 'no drama' to defend Zema's position.
In Brazil, current legislation prohibits work before age 16, except for apprentices starting at age 14. The controversy arose after Zema stated that in Brazil 'the idea was created that work harms children' and cited the United States as an example, where 'children go out delivering newspapers'.
