Uppdrag Guds rike 2023: Våra fundamentala rättigheter inom EU

Free speech can only be relational. It exists only thanks to a speaker and listener. Freedom of speech is 'human dignity in action' because it presupposes full equality of each human being vis a vis any other human being. That also means that it requires a lot of resilience from those listening to speech they vehemently disagree with. If we deny the human dignity of the other, we make free speech impossible. If we make free speech impossible, we deny the human dignity of the other. Maintaining the balance between these two points is a permanent 'work in progress'. It is important to understand that the EU defines free speech as a right based on human dignity.
