If you read about how the ECHR judge cases... 8 vs 10..on the official ECHR site they state as, a fact that the, evidence supporting the statements and their veracity are what is important. That's, not opinion.. It's fact and it makes perfect sense
The McCanns have made a complaint against the Supreme Court of Portugal .
They are wanting compensation for that.
So far as I know the ECHR cannot change the decision which was .......
According to a Supreme Court official, the decision upholds the reasoning on which the appeal court based its decision to revoke the award of damages, stating that: “In a situation of conflict between the right to honour and the right to freedom of expression, the criterion of weighing of interests, acting according to the principle of proportionality and the specificity of the case, points in the direction of its being the freedom of expression .
It's (SC decision) about the right to Freedom Of Expression .
