Latest news and stories about media complaint in Portugal for expats and residents.
Pedro Adão e Silva, a commentator for CNN Portugal, argues that it is “quite unusual and uncommon to have a complaint [from a prime minister] against a publication that is openly a satire”. “I don't recall anything like this.”
The prime minister's complaint against a political satire page was quickly dismissed by comedians and experts, who warn that a public figure 'must show greater tolerance of criticism and caricature'.
António Leitão Amaro says the author of the page “Volksvargas” was “a paid agent or collaborator of some political grouping.” The government does not clarify to which authority the complaint by the prime minister was submitted.
