Three equal horizontal bands of green (top), white and green, there is an Andalucian coat of arms in center of the white band. After 2005, surveys have measured a larger support for republicanism amongst Spanish youth, with more 18- to 29-year-olds identifying themselves as republicans than those identifying as monarchists, according to El Mundo. [20] Despite this, some surveys show the public in favour of the monarchy, and according to an August 2008 El Mundo poll, 47.9% of Spaniards would have liked to democratically elect King Juan Carlos, and 42.3% of respondents thought that the succession of his heir Prince Felipe should be put to a plebiscite. [21] According to the newspaper Público's "Publicscopio" section in December 2009, 61% survey respondents were in favour of amending the Spanish Constitution to allow the Spanish people to decide between a monarchy and a republic, [22] a number that increased by 3% compared to the data collected the year before by the same newspaper. [23] According to a 2012 survey by Gallup, 54% of Spaniards were in favor of a referendum to choose the form of government (monarchy or republic), and support was always found to be even higher when surveying younger age groups (support was 73.1% amongst 18- to 24-year-olds, but only 34.5% for those above 65 years). Support for such a referendum is also higher amongst the more educated groups of the population, voters in left-wing political parties, and between members of the upper and upper-middle classes. In 2013, as a result of the accusation of Princess Cristina in the Nóos scandal, republican support has begun to increase greater than ever before. The Republican flag was formed by three horizontal bands of the same width, red, yellow, and dark purple. The National Flag would have the Spanish Republican coat of arms at the centre (quarterly of Castile, Leon, Aragon and Navarre, enté en point for Granada, ensigned by a mural crown, between the two Pillars of Hercules). This coat of arms originated in 1868 and had been used then by the Provisional Government and later by the First Spanish Republic. The civil ensign or merchant flag would be a simple tricolour without the coat of arms. A phenomenon emerged during the Spanish War of Independence (1808-1814), in which a series of non-regulation flags proliferated. A number of sailors lent their services to terrestrial campaigns and, for the first time, bi-colour ensigns were seen throughout inland Spain.

Royal Decree 2027/1998, of 18 September, accepting the free assignment by maestro Francisco Grau Vergara of the performing rights resulting from the revision and orchestration of the National Anthem and the attribution of the administration of these rights to the Ministry of Education and Culture (OSG No. 233, of 29 September 1998) The Republic soon had to confront the political polarization of the era, at the same time that totalitarian dictatorships were rising in power in Europe. The political instability of the time can be seen by the fact that, in 1932, there had already been a failed coup led by General José Sanjurjo. The First Spanish Republic that was instituted in 1873 adopted the coat of arms of the 1868–1871 Provisional Government without changes. [2] The roots of Spanish republicanism arose out of liberal thought in the wake of the French Revolution. The first manifestations of republicanism occurred during the Peninsular War, in which Spain and nearby regions fought for independence from Napoleon, 1808–1814. During the reign of Ferdinand VII (1813–1833) there were several liberalist military pronunciamientos, but it was not until the reign of Isabella II (1833–1868) that the first clearly republican and anti-monarchist movements appeared.

The National Flag of Spain has a horizontal rectangular design with a triband of two colors; red and yellow. The three bands are arranged as follows; the red band at the top, a yellow band in the middle, and a red band at the bottom. The middle yellow band is twice the width of each red band. The Coat of Arms of Spain is set off-centered towards the flag’s hoist. It is a combination of six different coats of arms, representing the six kingdoms that makeup Spain. The red castle represents the Kingdom of Castile, and the red lion represents the Kingdom of Leon, the vertically-running red and yellow stripes represent the kingdom of Aragon, the golden chain-link represents the kingdom of Navarre. The pomegranate flower at the bottom represents the kingdom of Granada, and the Flower of the Lily (fleur-de-lis) represents the House of Bourbon. The two Pillars of Hercules symbolize the Straits of Gibraltar and on top of the two pillars are two crowns, an imperial crown, and a royal crown. The royal crown symbolized the King of Spain while the imperial crown symbolized the Holy Roman Emperor with King Charles serving in both capacities in the late 18th century. The inscription on the red banner wrapping the two pillars is “Plus Ultra” which translates to “Further Beyond” which represented the then newly discovered American territories after the voyages of Christopher Columbus. The red and yellow colors of the flag were chosen for being the primary colors on the coat of arms of King Ferdinand II. The flag has a width-to-length proportion ratio of 2:3. History of the flag of Spain I saw recently in TV footage of demonstrations in Madrid the flag of the Spanish Republic without the emblem but with its middle stripe double wider, clearly an unintentional influence of the later (and current) design. The current use of the 1931-1936 flag by left-wing sympathisers, especially after 1975, is well known - being the plain Spanish equivalent of the anti-establishment spirit behind the use of regional and nationalist flags in “historical communities" - but this error in proportions is, I think, new, possibly atypical and ephemeral, but very interesting in its psycho-vexillological roots and vexillo-political effect.

In 1935, after a series of crisis and corruption scandals, President Alcalá-Zamora, who had always been hostile to the government, called for new elections, instead of inviting CEDA, the party with most seats in the parliament, to form a new government. The Popular Front won the 1936 general election with a narrow victory. The Right accelerated its preparations for a coup, which had been months in the planning. [9] [10] Pike, David Wingeate.

The National Flag and Ensign was a red-yellow-dark purple tricolour, 3:5 proportions, with the arms centred on the yellow stripe. Amadeo I of Spain (1871-1873) respected the heraldry of the Spanish Flag. During the First Republic (1873-1874), plans were drawn up to include a purple stripe to replace the lower red stripe. However, no change was actually made.Find sources: "Republicanism in Spain"– news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR ( February 2014) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Los españoles dan un notable a la Monarquía pero un 38% de jóvenes prefiere la República / EL MUNDO" (in Spanish).
