In the exam (French)
Peut-on brûler publiquement un drapeau français ?
- aYes, it is always allowed in the name of freedom of expressionOui, c'est toujours permis au nom de la liberté d'expression
- bNo, it is an insult to the flag, punished by a fineNon, c'est un outrage au drapeau, puni d'une amendeCorrect answer
- cYes, if it happens during a demonstrationOui, si cela se passe pendant une manifestation
- dYes, if you bought the flag yourselfOui, si l'on a acheté soi-même ce drapeau
Why?
The tricolour flag is an official symbol of the Republic. Destroying it or using it in a degrading way in public, in order to insult it, is punished by a fine. Insulting the flag (outrage au drapeau) during an event organised by the authorities is an intermediate offence (délit).
