Legitimacy cannot override the principle of the dignity of the other

This is an opinion text written by António Vilhena that addresses the question of legitimacy in relation to the principle of human dignity. The article refers to Rua da Sofia in Coimbra, a historic street known throughout Europe since the 16th century. Vilhena suggests that this historic street has been affected by a "curse" related to the actions of people he considers unprepared and arrogant. The text appears to criticize the way certain decisions or actions were taken, suggesting that legitimacy should not prevail over respect for the dignity of others.
