EU slams Eurovision for banning its flag from song contest

 "Such actions cast a shadow over what is meant to be a joyous occasion for peoples across Europe," European Commission vice president Margaritis Schinas wrote to in a letter to the EBU.

"With the EU being targeted by malicious and authoritarian actors, EBU's decision contributed to discrediting a symbol that brings together all Europeans," he added.

If you want to understand what is happening to the European Union’s constitution, the EU flag is a good place to start.

European leaders will agree to delete references to the flag in the constitution.

Everybody knows the flags will keep flying.

The words in the constitution will change. But the substance will remain the same.

RE: Och EU är ingen stat - även om EU kan bli det om vi inte ser upp.
