 PLAY THE EUROPEAN UNION ANTHEM AND FLY THE EUROPEAN FLAG AT ALL SPORT EVENTS

The national anthem is played at all sport events where national teams compete.
At the medal ceremony, the national flag of the gold medallist is raised while playing the national anthem.

Should the European Union anthem be played immediately after the national anthem when the team of an European Union's member compete?
Should the Europe flag be raised together with the national flag when the gold medallist represents a member of the European Union?

Will both send a strong signal of unity, and a celebration of the European Union’s five fundamental values?
FREEDOM
DEMOCRACY
EQUALITY
RULE OF LAW
HUMAN RIGHTS

The Europe flag, adopted by the European Union in 1985, is flown or displayed in all public buildings, government institutions, ministries, town halls, and embassies/consulates of the European Union members.

The European anthem is the 4th movement of the 9th symphony, Ode to Joy, by Ludwig van Beethoven, with the lyrics by Friedrich Schiller.

* Yes
* No
* Only the EU anthem

COMUNICATO DELLA PRESIDENZA DELLA REPUBBLICA A SEGUITO DELLE DIMISSIONI DI MARIO DRAGHI   © Paolo Bolzoni, 24 luglio 2022. Oggi, 24 luglio 2022, i membri del nuovo Consiglio dei Ministri hanno giurato fedeltà alla Repubblica ed alla Costituzione davanti al Presidente Sergio Mattarella. Per fronteggiare la tragica emergenza seguita alle dimissioni di Mario Draghi il 21 luglio 2022, il Presidente Mattarella ha scelto tutti i Ministri senza perdere tempo in inutili consultazioni con partiti ormai trasformati da miopi in ciechi. Solo i Senatori a vita sono stati invitati per piangere insieme ed a consolarsi con un buon grappino. Tutti i Ministri NON sono membri della Camera dei Deputati o del Senato della Repubblica, e non sono iscritti a partiti politici. Tutti i Deputati e Senatori hanno approvato senza fiatare. Al termine della cerimonia, il Presidente Sergio Mattarella ha dichiarato: 
“Per la prima volta nella storia della Repubblica, tutti i ministri sono persone competenti, esperte n

 FOUR-MINUTES LONG STANDING OVATION FOR PRESIDENT SERGIO MATTARELLA. Yesterday, 7 December 2022, Maestro Riccardo Chailly inaugurated the 2022/2023 season at La Scala in Milan, and conducted Modest Mussorgsky’s “Boris Godunov”. Upon his entrance to the “Royal Box”, the President of the Italian Republic Sergio Mattarella was welcomed by a four-minutes long standing ovation. The audience, 2,000 selected guests (politicians, artists, Nobel Prize winners, musicians, journalists, etc.) kept on shouting ‘“GRAZIE PRESIDENTE” and “BRAVO”. Next to President Mattarella, you can see the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, the Lord Mayor of Milan, the President of the Italian Senate and the Italian Prime Minister. Immediately after, Maestro Chailly conducted the Italian national hymn AND the European Union hymn. To remind you, President Mattarella was re-elected on 29 January 2022, after SEVEN voting rounds, where none of the candidates received the required vote quorum. Pr

  Il 21 aprile, Il Presidente del Senato Ignazio La Russa ha dichiarato: “Nella Costituzione non c’è l’antifascismo.” Dopo le tante polemiche, ha rincarato la dose: “Non mi pento, riaffermo che nella Costituzione non c’è l’antifascismo.” Affermazione terrificante! Tutte le critiche, pienamente giustificate, da parte della stampa e da tutti i partiti politici, deputati e senatori, non hanno accennato alla cosa più ovvia: COSTITUZIONE DELLA REPUBBLICA ITALIANA Disposizioni Transitorie e Finali XII “È vietata la riorganizzazione, sotto qualsiasi forma, del disciolto partito fascista.” Il Presidente del Senato è la seconda carica della Repubblica, e, in caso di gravi impedimenti del Presidente Mattarella, potrebbe essere chiamato in qualsiasi momento a sostituirlo. Articolo 86 della Costituzione: “Le funzioni del Presidente della Repubblica, in ogni caso che egli non possa adempierle, sono esercitate dal Presidente del Senato.” Il Presidente della Repubblica è il GARANTE della Cost

BREAKING NEWS BANKRUPT DONALD TRUMP SELLS RATS © Paolo Bolzoni, April 2024 The six times bankrupt Donald Trump, now on the edge of the last, and fatal bankruptcy, set up RATS INC. Launched with a massive $500 million campaign, the company sells rats at $59.99. The rats, all named Joe, are to be fed to the vultures which infest his Mar-o-Liar cave. Only 6 rats were sold, all at the discounted price of $1 cent, to Melania, Ivanka, Jared, Donald Jr, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Governor De Santis. Meanwhile, sued by all TV channels and newspapers for unpaid ads bills, and expropriated of all his assets, Donald Trump tours the Republican mansions, begging like a tramp for a meal. Furious at the failure, the 150,000,000+ members of the Rats United militia marched to Capitol Hill, and surrounded Congress and Senate, chanting: Forward rats, to the rescue We ain’t Joe, we’re Donald Long live hate, trash freedom! Who's the leader of the riot That's God sent for you and me? D-O-N-A-L-D T-

  De Discrimen Gentis - On Racial Discrimination What Did Philosophers Say?   Racial discrimination plagued mankind since the dawn of civilisation. Fuelled by ignorance and fear, religion played, and continues to play the starring role.   In a German-language letter to philosopher Eric Gutkind, dated 3 January 1954, the physicist Albert Einstein wrote: “The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation, no matter how subtle, can (for me) change this.... For me, the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions . And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people.... I cannot see anything “chosen” about them.” It is a great comfort to see that, with only a couple

De Genus Discrimen - On Gender Discrimination What Did Philosophers Say? Gender discrimination plagued mankind since the dawn of civilisation. Fuelled by ignorance and prejudice, religion played, and continues to play the starring role. In the three monotheistic religions, God is male, the Father, He has a son. 'Bacchus, Tobacco and Venus reduce man to ashes.' This old say is not funny, it is an insulting stereotype to women. At its best, it implies that women are maintained by men, for they are too stupid to contribute to the family. At its worst, it implies that women are toys to buy for pleasure. In this essay, I’ll take you through Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, Ancient China, Ancient India, Ancient Israel, Ancient Islam, the Low Middle Age, the Rinascimento, the 17th, 18th (the Enlightenment), 19th, 20th and 21st century, to discover how philosophers dealt with racial discrimination.
