Update: A Beirut street defying Chbib’s decision.
Beirut Governor has issued a statement today banning Beirut residents from raising non-Lebanese flags during the World Cup, as it is against the law. The only flag that we’re allowed to raise is the Lebanese one apparently.
This must be the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard in a long while. It’s the World Cup and we’re cheering for teams that are actually competing in it. What’s the point of raising the Lebanese flag during a World Cup? And why isn’t this law enforced all the time? Why now?
I’m going to raise the Vatican flag see if they fine me 😂
you can cheer up for the world cup without polluting the streets with flags
i don’t see how flags can add more to the cheering!
not to mention the childish trend of decorating your car with flags and stuff
i totally agree with his decision and
i highly doubt that people in other countries raise other flags for the worldcup
Although I find it stupid, this is just harmless freedom on expression.
This has nothing to do with polluting the streets since u are allowed to hang the Lebanese flag.
you agree with it ??:/
so when people’s rights are violated we are now picking and choosing when it is alright based on how convenient it is to us ?
I don’t hang flags, but i can understand why people can get invested.
I am not saying it should not be regulated as there definitely should be rules again any flag that obstruct view or might cause accidents.
