In short, this allows the media to rejuvenate themselves by lamenting over this poor multicultural, multi-religious, and multi-territorial France, which seems to have abandoned all its national, even nationalist, pride.
The left’s blue-white-red attacks the right’s blue-white-red, which tries to regain the electorate of the far-right’s blue-white-red. So, since we have the fortune of being born or residing in the last territory annexed to France, the County of Nice, in 1860 (and even in 1947 for some cantons), why shouldn’t we display the Nice flag proudly?
Indeed, this year 2007 is exceptional, not because it is the year of the presidential and legislative elections, but because it is the bicentennial of the birth of Garibaldi. No politician has been more Nicean and more universal. No man has rushed to be more European. No man has defended the independence of nations more fiercely.
Liberator of Uruguay, of Rio Grande Do Sul, unifier of Italy, victorious general for France against Prussia, Italian deputy, four times a French deputy, he is the very symbol of the freedom of peoples.
So, even before the commemoration of the French Revolution, let’s proudly display the Nice flag on next July 4th in tribute to the greatest hero our city has known. Let’s raise the red eagle at our windows, which is the symbol of nationalism, pride, memory, and honor.
ON NEXT JULY 4TH, LET’S PROUDLY DISPLAY THE NICE FLAG
