Shes kicking off over eurovision, shes kicking off so her representative, one of the spokespeople at the European Commission, has accused eurovision bosses of handing a gift to their enemies of europe with this flag band. So were no European Union flags were allowed to be flown. And theyre saying this is handing, this is handing a gift to the enemies of europe , to the eurosceptics. Europe, to the eurosceptics. I love this quote. The quote from her official spokesman is it is certainly regrettable to ban the flag. That is the flag of all eu members and other council of union members.
