” There was not a French flag that was eliminated at the Arc de Triomphe, it was not changed by the European flag,” French European events preacher Clément Beaune claimed, including it was a “strong relocation” for Europe.
” The European flag was mounted where there was absolutely nothing,” Beaune clarified.

Valérie Pécresse, the conservative governmental prospect, claimed head of state Emmanuel Macron had an issue with French background, while reactionary governmental prospect Marine Le Pen hailed a “patriotic success”.
Left-wing prospect Jean-Luc Mélenchon, on the other hand, claimed that the federal government must appreciate the procedure to constantly have the EU flag with the French one, knocking the relocation as a “communicative impulse”.
