Oficialii care nu sărută drapelul de Ziua Tricolorului vor fi amendați. ”Patriotism” cu forța, într-un proiect depus în Parlament

A proposed law in Romania mandates officials to kiss the national flag on Flag Day, with fines for non-compliance. The initiative outlines detailed ceremonies for public authorities and schools, requiring media to dedicate airtime to the event. The law, still under parliamentary review, includes penalties for officials who refuse to participate. It also establishes a designated 'Tricolor Square' for ceremonies in major cities. Critics raise concerns about the clarity of the law and its implications for freedom of expression. The proposal has faced mixed reactions in parliament, with some committees opposing it while others support it.
