Wait, there are banned books in Portugal ?

i don't think she could open it, and loudly announce it if they were banned there

They were fascist until the mid 70s. But it looks like after the carnation rebellion they unbanned all the books they had banned and they still struggle with the balance between their history and culture of censorship and their freedom of expression granted in their post rebellion constitution. One book was banned after liberalization, but was unbanned later.
