Question 8994 — public ceremonies and legal holidays

Summary

Decree No. 89-655 of September 13, 1989 relating to public ceremonies, precedence, civil and military honors determines the order of precedence and speaking of the authorities when they attend a public ceremony, whether organized by order of the Government or at the initiative of a public authority. Article 19 of the aforementioned decree provides that, when the ceremony includes speeches, these must be delivered in reverse order of precedence. However, no provision of the decree provides for the automatic nature of the speaking of the invited authorities. Consequently, it is up to the organizing authority to determine, according to local customs, the course of the ceremony and to determine the related speeches.
