The demonstrators complied without causing any problems, but several members are now questioning the merits of this decision. “Is it really disrespectful to our dead for France to demonstrate for peace? Demonstrating for peace and an immediate end to the fighting, isn't that also a way of remembering them ?”, they wrote in a press release.
The sub-prefect does not share the same opinion. “They can very well display the Palestinian flag. The problem is that the war memorial is not intended to be used as a support for a political opinion, whatever it may be“. She added that the demonstration, which brought together around 70 people, took place peacefully and “with the most perfect freedom of expression“.
