Henrique Raposo, commentator and writer, commented on the "Não É Bem Assim" program about Jerry Seinfeld's visit to Portugal. The American humorist was in the country recently, generating controversy.
The controversy centered on cancellations by Portuguese artists who refused to perform with Seinfeld due to his political statements about Palestine. The comedian's positions on the conflict were at the root of these cancellation episodes.
In his commentary, Raposo defended the need to distinguish politics from art. The writer argued that one should separate an artist's political opinions from their creative work, and that one should not influence the evaluation of the other.
