Guy Teissier Wants Waving Foreign Flags in France to Become Illegal - French Government to Vote

In what is a surprising move to many, a new amendment to legislation has been proposed by French member of parliament, Guy Teissier. He is proposing to ""regulate the use of foreign flags in French public spaces by demanding prior permission".


Teissier has said, "A certain number of people, be they French, foreigners or not, during a diverse range of occasions – national holidays, protests – or in their daily lives, wave the flags of their country of origin."


The waving of foreign flags in France has become relatively commonplace, flags such as the Algerian Flag and Moroccan Flag in particular can be seen on a regular basis.

If the new amendment is passed the waving of a foreign flag without prior permission could be punishable with a fine of anything up to €1,500.

French Flag flying high throughout Libya

According to reports coming out of Libya the French Flag is flying high throughout the country. The French government are very popular in Libya at the moment, the French flag is being waved throughout the country, especially in ant-government stronghold Benghazi.



Many traders have been doing a brisk trade in both French Flags and the former Republic of Libya flag (replaced by Gaddafi with the all-green flag).



French President Nicolas Sarkozy's name is constantrly chanted by anti-Gaddafi forces, who appreciate his very strong stance against Gaddafi's recent alleged atrocities in Libya. The Libyan public are also appreciative of other governments abroad such as the UK and US governments, but nowhere seems to be as popular right now as France.
