Another Political Trial Bites the Dust

The Court of Appeal has absolved  Paulo Barata of defamation. The charges related to a reader’s letter published in the Diário de Notícias in 2004.
Paulo Barata, a militant of the Socialist Party wrote a humorous letter with nine pieces of advice for Jardim. The latter, again resorting to public money, accused the author of defamation. This is a stratagem regularly used by Jardim to silence critics, intimidate the press and earn a few bob for himself (not to mention the coterie of expensive lawyers employed for this purpose).
