Freedom of expression is a fundamental pillar for the construction and performance of a truly democratic society. The existence of a legal frame that guarantees this right it is a necessary condition, yet not sufficient, for the full exercise of right to receive and disseminate information. The legal standards that secure the full exercise of FoE are interpreted and implemented in various ways. Therefore it is necessary to publicly analyze and debate both the legal framework and the forms in which this right is being exercised, defended and/or violated.
