It is not my factor to forbid something to anybody. The legislation merely goals to take away the duty to show it at the moment in power. Maybe not everybody is aware of that the officialization of that flag was additionally rejected by the Treaty of Lisbon. Solely we now have had the duty since ’98.”

The Northern League senator on X continues to publish photographs of the Austrian and Portuguese Parliaments with out the EU flag. And he responds to all of the criticisms obtained. The outgoing mayor of Florence and candidate for the European elections for the Democratic Occasion Dario Nardella he writes: “Borghi della Lega desires to take away the European flag from public buildings.

Lengthy reside Europe”.

For the chief of the M5S group within the Senate, Stefano Patuanelli, “these are the priorities of the League. It’s the precise determine of the standard of their legislative proposal: not the mortgages, the rise in meals costs, the inflation which continues to rise particularly in main items, not the non-existent development and the business which continues to break down month after month however the flag of Europe exterior the buildings, these are the priorities of the League…”.

I hope that voters and voters consider carefully earlier than selecting a celebration that cares about the whole lot besides Europe.” In response to the deputy secretary of Motion Ettore Rosato: “They simply misplaced their minds. The drift that the League is taking solely desires to rework Europe into an enemy, to disintegrate what many years of effort by many have constructed. Briefly, it’s Putin’s line.
