Other right-wing politicians, angered by the raising of the European flag over the famous French landmark, have joined Le Pen, who appears to be the main rival to President Emmanuel Macron, in next spring’s elections, opinion polls show. Le Pen accuses him of having given a “direct order” to put up the flag. But Clement Bon, Minister of State for European Affairs, said the raising of the flag is temporary. “The French flag has not been replaced. The election campaign is not a free pass for lies and petty arguments,” he wrote in a tweet on Twitter. Macron has not yet revealed his intention to re-run in the April elections, after he beat Le Pen in the second round of the 2017 elections by 66 percent to 34 percent. All opinion polls suggest he will win a second five-year term.

France, far right, Marine Le Pen
France’s far-right leader Marine Le Pen protested on Saturday the placing of the European Union flag over the Arc de Triomphe to mark Paris’s six-month presidency.
Other right-wing politicians, angered by the hoisting of the European flag over the famous French landmark, have joined Le Pen, who appears to be President Emmanuel Macron’s main rival, in next spring’s elections, polls show.
Lu Pan . said
in a statement
Decorating the Arc de Triomphe in European Union colors only without the national flag is a real assault on our national identity, because this monument glorifies our military victories and includes the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
There was no immediate comment from the pro-EU Macron, whom Le Pen accuses of giving a “direct order” to place the flag.
But Secretary of State for European Affairs Clement Bonn said the flag-raising was temporary.
“The French flag has not been replaced,” he wrote on Twitter. “The election campaign is not a free pass for lies and petty arguments.”
Macron has not yet revealed his intention to re-run in the April elections, after he beat Le Pen in the second round of the 2017 elections by 66 percent to 34 percent.
