- No - I'm not afraid
I actually looked up if we still have punishment for insulting our King, and apparently we have - but our King has only a 'symbolic' role in our country. For insulting our functional head of state (the prime minister) there's no big difference between them and a 'normal' citizen. (One can wonder if there should be any difference of course!)
Insulting:
- King, 5 years prison
- Head of state, 4 months prison
- Citizen, 3 months prison
Except from these laws I don't feel citizens are 'afraid' of this though - what is considered an insult is culturally a very loose understanding, we can definitely mock our King or whomever on tv or radio or the internet without expecting any backlash.
Oh wow! I wasn't aware of that but it's pretty cool that they don't jail people regularly for mocking or criticising.
