Flag, Symbol, Motto
The Red-Yellow-Purple flag is the Spanish republican flag. It was flown by the International Brigades and today is a symbol of anti-Francoism (antifascism) and left-wing Republicanism in Spain. The three point star in the middle was used by the popular front, but in today's interpretation stands for socialism, communism, and anarchism--one point for each ideology. The colour of the three-point star, black, is the opposite of white: a colour signifying surrender to a superior force when flown. The black, in contrast, represents no surrender, which is reflective of our commitment to not bow down to fascism.
The motto “No Pasarán” means 'they shall not pass' and was used by left-wing forces to show their commitment to defeating fascism.
