The Ukrainian flag still flies over Lyon's city hall, while the Palestinian one was removed at the end of September following a court decision citing a serious breach of public service neutrality. This case highlights ongoing controversies around this principle, often misunderstood and evolved over a century. Inherited from the 1905 law, neutrality initially applied only to state agents but has gradually extended to other areas.
