flag-waving

On Sunday, Perez whipped up thousands of rapturous flag-waving supporters at a launch event in Madrid where he vowed to attack corruption, crime and traditional politics.

“The politics of grievance is the biggest threat we face,” he told a crowd of British flag-waving supporters.

He recalls being in New York after 9/11, unable to voice unease about the flag-waving and rush to war.

"Violence is coming" and "you either fight back or die", the billionaire X owner Elon Musk told flag-waving protesters via video link.

For a party that has largely shunned flag-waving displays of national pride, this is a new departure.
