A few weeks ago a Romanian bought a personalized number plate from Sweden that seemed perfectly fine for Swedish Transport Agency is [usually very vigilant][1] when approving such plates.

However, this plate included a word that it is usually considered very offensive:

> The car’s plates read “MUIE PSD”. According to the Romanian dictionary
> DEX, the first meaning of the term “muie”, which comes from the Romani
> language, is “mouth” and one of its derivate meanings is “to deceive”.
> However, the term is more commonly used as a swear, (..)

Since the target was the [Romanian Social Democratic Party][2], the main party in power, (not a person), some argued that the plates should be allowed and removing them by the police is a limitation of freedom of expression.

**Question:** Does freedom of speech/expression cover offensive words against a political party?
