Almeida Arroja v. Portugal (application no. 47238/19)
The applicant, José Pedro Almeida Arroja, is a Portuguese national who was born in 1954 and lives in
Oporto. He is an economist and university professor and was a weekly political commentator on a
daily news programme broadcast by the private television channel Porto Canal.
The case concerns his criminal conviction for aggravated defamation and insulting a legal entity for
having implied, during one such broadcast, that a legal opinion provided to a public hospital by the
director of a law firm, who happened to be a well-known politician and member of the European
Parliament, had been motivated by political interests.
The applicant complains that his conviction was in breach of his right to freedom of expression
under Article 10 (freedom of expression) of the European Convention on Human Rights.
