At the beginning, it is never the verb, always the question mark. We do it the correct way, using the right methodology. First we state the question. When is expressing an opinion a crime? Let me start by saying that freedom of expression, in the sense used by João Bénard da Costa in his book Muito Lá de Casa [A Very Domestic Issue] (a collection of articles about his beloved cinema), is, and has always been, ‘a very domestic issue’ as far as I am concerned. One of the above articles, ‘O Problema da Habitação’ [‘The Problem with Housing’], he ended with the following: ‘As Rui Belo wrote, “A house is the most serious thing in life.” And being closely attached to it is also very serious.’ Now let me move on to analysing the question I was asked, affirming my deep attachment to freedom of expression, in the sense set out in our constitution (and, one underlines, in the part relating to fundamental rights and duties), i.e., that everyone has the right to express and freely divulge their opinion through word, image or any other means, and the exercising of this right cannot be limited by any form of censorship. Without freedom of expression, the democratic, liberal and pluralistic state does not exist; in sum, open society, in its best and most fruitful sense, is non-existent.
