The Eurovision Song Contest has banned the Basque Flag from being flown or displayed at all during the 2016 contest in Sweden.The EU requested that the flag was to placed on the same threat list as the flag that ISIS use,with no explanation so far as to why this was their request.

The Basque Flag is not a symbol of terrorism.

The Basque Flag is an emblem of identity and a signature of pride.

Sign this petition to raise awareness of the discrimination that Basque people are facing from what is supposed to be a uniting competition.

Ridiculous to ban the ikurrina. Its for culture not politics. Eurovision should be about music and unity not banning flags from peaceful regions

Representing the Basque people this flag does not deserve to be banned but instead celebrated

WTF why would they do this? And equating it to terrorism is just wrong. Basques deserve to have their own autonomous state and be able to have their flag represent their people wherever they watn.

How rude to oppress a country as a continent for a few extremist actions.
