Equality principle must consider differences between regions

The President of the Portuguese Bar Association, João Massano, addresses the issue of the principle of equality and the need to consider differences between regions. This reflection comes in the context of an opinion article where the leader of the legal profession in Portugal presents his perspective on how equality should be applied in a differentiated manner. The text highlights that the concept of equality cannot be treated uniformly, and it is necessary to take into account the specificities of each region. João Massano uses his position as President to defend that policies and the application of the law must recognize the existing disparities between different territories of the country. The reflection aims to demonstrate that looking at people and situations in an equal manner does not mean treating them the same way, but rather considering their concrete and regional circumstances.
