Dom, I join others in thanking you for all your efforts in getting this
great Goan acknowledged and honoured on the occasion of his 250th birth
anniversary.
But, quite frankly and with respect, I would like to ask you if you find
normal for Goan journalists to hide which European Country is issuing the
postcard. Paul Fernandes refers to "An European Nation" or "One of the
European Nation". Bosco Eremita refers to the Whole of the "European Union"!

So, pray tell us if you find this normal.
One European Country (we now know it is Portugal) is issuing the postcard
but who takes the credit is Europe!! Is this normal according to you?
Best wishes
Paulo Colaco Dias.
