The Portuguese President declines invitation to be in the Opening of the Olympics...

*sorry only Portuguese news source*
President Cavaco Silva declines Chinese invitation

"Portugal will only be represented at the ceremony by the Secretary of State for the field of Sport, after President Cavaco Silva declined an invitation for the event, the office of the President would not comment on the reasons for this but it is widely believed that this is in connection with the latest developments in Tibet"


I normally don´t agree with the men politically....but for once I have to say 'Well done Mr. President'

I´ll be on a personal boycott of the Olympics this year anyway.
