My Rebellious Constitution Day

Posted in Politics by Jarle Petterson on May 18, 2008

My European cuff links

Prior to our Constitution Day (yesterday) several cities debated whether or not foreign flags should be allowed in the parades. Personally I really couldn’t care less, as I sport my European flag on every 17 May, albeit in a very decent fashion (you have to admit that cuff links aren’t very likely to stir emotions).

It just cannot be helped: I’m afraid that on 17 May every year I’m still in Europe Day mode (commemorating the 9 May Robert Schuman declaration).

So shoot me. I’m sure that quite a few of the 50 or so percent Norwegians who do not consider Norway a European country wouldn’t hesitate to call me a traitor.

Oh well… There’s Norway for you.

I’m sorry about the blurry image. Twas the best my mobile camera (or I, maybe) could do around midnight.
