The same way, there is a "Bretagne" flag and maybe a Corsica flag, and
no french people mind about it... Both are regions of France with some
people wanting independance. But acknowledging that they have a flag,
a language and a culture do not mean we support their independance.
Most citizen of those regions want to stay part of France, but at the
same time, they want to protect their own culture. This is totally
natural.
