- sergiosgc 14y agoI am in Europe and, yes, I'm free to deny the holocaust publicly and I'm free to sell WWII memorabilia. Portugal does not suffer from public order problems with neo nazi groups. It will take probably one more generation for Germany to be able to lift those restrictions. WWII was a big event, and it is emotionally charged still today. I think their approach to limiting free speech is an extraordinary measure to deal with extraordinary circumstances. It is not an easy decision, was heavily discussed among Germans, and is widely accepted by the population. While not ideal, it's acceptable and well managed. And limited in time.
