What Does This Sticker Mean?

The National Flag, between assimilation and Plan


When watching a flag, usually always ascribe to any particular political sensitivity, to a people and a people. We can also identify enemy countries, and other annoyances. The National Flag Canaria, tricolor with seven green stars, has been from its inception on October 22, 1964, the flag of independence. Therefore, the flag of a country.

MPAIAC The Congress, the same day of the year 64, found this design for the flag of the Canary Islands. Using the colors of the flag of Free Canary, white, blue and yellow, created years before, but the blue was going to be more of a lighter blue and he inserted the seven green stars representing the seven major islands that form the archipelago. Since then, the flag was adopted as national emblem Canarian population.

same time, in 2005, Coalition Canaria adopted at its Third National Congress, this flag. Apart from this training regionalist parties which are not defined independence as New Canarias, Centro Canario Nacionalista and some parties and organizations of the same nature have also received this flag in recent years.

This can have two effects: firstly, the dissemination of this flag is power, to be used by as many people as possible. Remember that this is the flag of any and all canaries. However, the other effect is that our National Flag lose their meaning and their struggle. Assimilation is dangerous and a depoliticized people at a general level, people tend to forget the meaning of things. Furthermore, its use and employment should bear at least a respect for the fallen and oppressed to defend that flag that many.

Can you imagine this with the English flag on public buildings in the Canary Islands? That's the idea of \u200b\u200bmany regionalist misnamed nationalists, including the President himself in the Canaries, Paulino Rivero, who said that if it gets absolute majority, the flag will be autonomous. When he talked of flags and enemies just referred me to this. The tricolor flag of the seven green stars coexisting with the English, ignoring the genocide of our people, economic dependency, the chief of the Canary Islands or English lords allied to them, how to oppress us into ghettos and social, economic and labor, etc. A real disgrace to the Canarian people, which I hope never takes place. Which is next to the red and yellow flag of the dogs, that does define the colonial character of the Canaries.

Our National Flag has a revolutionary, reformer, liberator if I allow the expression. Despite its acceptance today, is still subject defines a canary and still rising nationalist hackles upper classes and bourgeois associated settler colonialism. This flag means the struggle of a people, the awakening of a country, silent for centuries, without references, without symbols and that began to meet with the creation of this flag an October 22, 1964. Forever, we are not sure, FLAG THIS MEANS INDEPENDENCE .

XLV Happy Anniversary National Flag!
