Francisco da Silva, on his blog Artigo 58 [1], shares a video [2] [pt] that shows a group of domestic workers in Lisbon preparing a banner for the general strike [3] (March 24, 2012). The police enter the scene and put an end to the freedom of expression in a public square, preventing the workers from writing their slogan.
