Yugoslavian protest flag

A regular European Union flag with a golden swastika (standing on a side) on the middle was used in a demonstration protesting against perceived European Union cooperation in the NATO bombings against Yugoslavia in 1999.

Austrian anti-European flag (2000)

by António Martins

A red flag with a ring of 12 black stars on a white disc was used in political cartoons expressing pressure on European Union instances in favour of coaction measures against the government of Austria, ruled by a coalition including Jörg Haider's extreme right party FPÖ.

Polish anti-European flag (2002)

by Ivan Sache

A TV guide shows a picture probably taken during a anti-European Union demonstration somewhere in Poland. Two flags are shown, a Polish national flag and a European Union flag defaced with a red cross in saltire. There is no legend to the picture, only a credit to AFP (Agence France Presse).

The flag undoubtly promotes rejection of the adherence to European Union. The picture is too small to check the details of the flag but the "no" cross was probably made with red sticky tape.
