No, it is not.
You cannot insult a country's authority figures, or you undermine the legitimacy of the country's government.
It's the same "everywhere".
Of course, you can insult them in the privacy of your home, or when chatting with friends, but never to the face of those authority figures.... or you may faces charges.
I don't think we are talking about the same thing, really. Since when are dead people authority figures, and since when can you insult them to their face?
Incidentally, where I live, I can insult authority figures publicly. It's even somewhat of a cherished tradition. What I cannot do is threaten them.
