This does not prevent the Portuguese Government, and many other European governments, from being not so much in dispute with a particular country, as being engaged in a battle to preserve certain principles and values.
Dette forhindrer ikke den portugisiske regering, ligesom det helt sikkert ikke forhindrer andre regeringer i Europa, i at føre en kamp, ikke mod et land, men en kamp til forsvar for principper og værdier.
