Should it be illegal to burn the Portuguese flag?
Flag desecration is any act that is carried out with the intention of damaging or destroying a national flag in public. This is commonly done in an effort to make a political statement against a nation or its policies. Some nations have acts that ban flag desecration while others have laws that protect the right to destroy a flag as a part of free speech. Some of these laws distinguish between a national flag and those of other countries.

No, I wouldn’t consider it illegal. It’s just a matter of respect towards the country you’re living in.
