About the flag

A quite recent political movement is "ATTAC" (Association pour une Taxation des Transactions financières pour l'Aide aux Citoyens), the international anti-globalization movement, founded first in France in 1998, but now active in about 30 countries. The flag comes in two versions: red on white and white on red.

The German branch uses a red flag with their logo and the (white) inscriptions "attac" and "www.attac-netzwerk.de". The logo is a modified "%" sign, with globes instead of the "circles". The upper globe shows the earth from the North Pole, the lower globe from the South Pole; the continents are shown in pink. The globes connected by the "%" sign probably allude to the demand for the so-called "Tobin Tax", a global tax on financial transactions, which is a central part of the ATTAC programs. A variant shows the logo and inscription in red on a white field.
