Germany: Lawmakers Want Three-year Prison Terms for Burning EU Flag

Breitbart ^ | 22 June 2019 | Jack Montgomery

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Damaging the “the symbols of the European Union” could result in a fine or a custodial term of up to three years under new laws proposed in Saxony, Germany. Lawmakers in the German state want to pass new legislation “to take firm and effective action against those whose aim is to disparage the fundamental values ​​of the European Union” by attacking “the reputation of the symbols of the European Union”, according to the Saarbrücker Zeitung regional newspaper.

The proposed law would make rendering the European Union flag — a circle of twelve gold pentagram stars on a field of blue — either “removed, destroyed, damaged, unusable or unrecognisable” a crime punishable by a fine or a custodial term of as much as three years, the newspaper reports.

While “the right to objective or legitimate criticism” would supposedly remain protected, the law’s proponents claim it is “a commandment of self-esteem” that Germany, as a founder member-state of the European Union, “protects [it] against malicious contempt”.

The law would also protect Beethoven’s Ode to Joy, which has been appropriated as the EU anthem.

what does it say about Germans who want to imprison people for resisting the re-Nazification of much of Europe?

Zum befehl, Meine Fuhrer!

[GSWarrior]

How German of them.

I'm not saying the European Union will eventually become Daniel's Fourth Beast but I am certainly suggesting it...

Daniel 7:7-8 King James Version (KJV)

7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.

If the whole point of the EU is to sacrifice nationalism for the sake of the federation, why should burning the EU flag be a crime? Aren’t flags a symbol of national identification?

[The law would also protect Beethoven’s Ode to Joy, which has been appropriated as the EU anthem.]

Ode to Joy is a beautiful song. The European Union's Parliament Building in Strasbourg, France is a wonderful Tower of Babel.

[SaveFerris]

Yes, but the European Union Superstate is to be worshiped as god and savior.

You DO want to be a good citizen, right citizen? The State provides for your every need. Ever since Fuhrer Occasio-Cortez was elected, along with Vice-Chancellor Sanders (we keep his brain alive in a glass jar) the State has always been your friend. And savior. Oops, one was trying to buy food without the Mark of the State. The fool!

[BenLurkin]

How very....Soviet of them.

[How German of them.

How very....Soviet of them.]

I’d say you’re each 50% correct. 50% + 50% = 100%.

Sort of like West Germany - East Germany reunified.

;)

[robel]

They’ll let them go if they agree to burn three German flags as a penance.

[AlaskaErik]

But what if it’s a moslem that burns the flag? Will they get a pass?

The beatings will continue until you sing on key and without contempt!

[neverevergiveup]

Unbelievable. The globalist zealots are more strict about their EU flag than we are about our American flag. Yet they label us as ‘nationalists’.

[hal ogen]

Can you still spit on it? How about writing “fascist” across it? How about using it to line your bird’s cage? Enquiring minds want to know...

On my butt, if you ask to see it, I'll ask you to kiss it.
