The problem with putting a French flag up on your Facebook - WaPo http://j.mp/1Loe61X 三色旗を掲げることへのためらいについて
n France though, the flag has taken on a more complicated meaning. It’s no longer simply a symbol of the triptych known around the world: liberté, égalité, fraternité. Rather, many French citizens have come to see waving the “tricolore” publicly as expressing support for the France’s extreme right, and for their anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant and racist policies.
なんとなれば、三色旗が自由平等友愛ではなく、反イスラム、反移民、人種差別をも象徴するようになってきたから。
A year earlier, the Front National mayor of a town in northern France canceled the annual commemoration of the abolition of slavery. In line with his party, the mayor denounced the socialist government’s constant mode of “self-guilt.” In 2012, the FN had launched a petition against this “permanent repentance,” stating: “We recall that it is not by wallowing in anti-national masochism and hatred of our history that we will provide our young with a future.”
どこの国でも同じようなことをいう人たちはいるものですな。
フランス政府がそれほど歴史を反省している、とは到底思えないが。
