Among the mistakes made by the responsible leaders of the Second Republic, a major, fundamental to the law religious matters, was the change of flag. The flag of a country, a nation, not exclusive, and as such may be, group, party, class or regime. The flag belongs to everyone, not just of the generations living together in a historic moment, but also of which have been or will be.
The flag of Spain responds well to such an assertion, and his birth is not because it was imposed by the victors of a war, but the very fact of being rooted in our history involved. Moreover, the fact that our common daily tasks chaired for two centuries, becoming entitled to our respect and devotion. Not only on the battlefields but also in schools and workshops, has been silent witness, encouraging, efforts, sacrifices, successes and difficulties.
a flag is not division but unity. The flag rose to supplant it was already, in itself, and only wield the fact, "some factions." So the vast majority who just want to be English, with no more goals, but each time it wishes circumstantial how the nation should be ruled-were likely to refuse it, and even to consider it strange, with all that that entails .
was not only specific political demonstrations that have been expressed earlier by the banner "Republican", the group of Republicans who have it as such, but I've seen now in the center of Madrid, capital of Spain, in the breast pocket of some young people, who surely have not measured on burden of division, conflict, excitement, he brought with him regarding the national community.
After Mussolini's fascism changed the monarchy in Italy, following the military coup changed the system Salazar in Portugal. In both nations, and with great success, the flag has remained the same, as conclusive evidence that over the systems, regions, circumstances, postures and groups, whatever remains, which are to remain and even exceeded, the country, embodied in the flag, whose colors have been with the vicissitudes of history, more so since it has to endure, as the country itself-by above them. Well
are the flags that are truly, regions, provinces, municipalities and villages. If indeed they are, they have not been invented to be raised as an outline of fighting, are recognized by all members of the community, which keep, exalted. Well they are, as such, the flags of political parties and groups, who have and wield a great time. So is it starting to become fashionable flags and emblems of clubs and businesses, whose members contribute their effort to get fruits and successes that all correspond. But all these flags must be chaired by one that does not happen, that is to be permanent, unalterable, which unites all of which is that of the country, which is that of Spain.
be difficult that can be recognized as the flag of Spain other than that which it is above all divisions and serve to overcome and bring together all the common effort to lift. Mal
make those up against the flag of Spain, not to be used as a usufruct only a few, whoever they are, because it belongs to everyone. But at times the flag of Spain has had to be defended and extolled by some, to the neglect or contempt of others.
Learning from others is important, in many temples ultra-democratic and liberal points of the country's flag next to the place of prayer. In Scandinavian countries the flag is hoisted every holiday on the masts of the private houses in the field. The streets of cities in many nations, hardly conducive to patriotism, glazed with the colors of the flag. We can not forget the excitement when a forest of flags outside the country, discover the colors of our own.
The flag of Spain, the English, should be a source of pride, devotion and respect for all. Santiago Galindo Herrero
