"Mr President, I would like to take this opportunity to condemn what is currently happening in Portugal, where it is clear that the media has brought to light a government plan to control newspapers, television channels and radio stations, which jeopardises freedom of expression. Just this week, a newspaper column written by a very well-known journalist, Mário Crespo, was also censured at the prompting – or apparently at the prompting – of the Prime Minister.
In this context, the Prime Minister, José Sócrates, must now offer the Portuguese newspaper
a substantial explanation, and must explain that he is not controlling, curtailing or censuring freedom of expression in Portugal.
By acting in this way, Portugal is no longer a State governed by rule of law but a State governed by formal law, in which the Prime Minister restricts himself to formalities, procedures and red tape, and does not want to offer substantial explanations.
We want Portugal to be a State governed by substantive law!"@en1
