It is public participation, something that has been said. If I take a jar of pickles off the shelf in my local Spar store, the manager calls out "Stop, thief" and I sue him stating I will throw in a claim for €1 million, that is obviously not a SLAPP. Must it be a public pronouncement, usually or possibly political, or a journalist either questioning of authority or something of that nature?
