  • Former Vox deputy Another crisis in Vox: a deputy leaves the parliamentary group and denounces harassment to the Police

The deadline for the withdrawal of the flags that have sown discord in the Andalusian Parliament ends this Wednesday, but the symbols are still hanging on the walls.

In an office, a

red and black

Falange flag

with the yoke and dates.

In the next room, the insignia of the

LGTBI and Trans collectives

and the symbols of the gypsy people.

And guarding the entrance is a security guard sent by the Chamber so that only the ten non-attached deputies from Vox and Adelante Andalucía to whom these spaces were assigned access these units.

The Falange flag was placed by the non-attached deputy

Luz Belinda Rodríguez

, a parliamentarian who left Vox a year ago, feeling harassed and ignored by her former colleagues.

Now, he is a member of the Spanish Falange de las JONS.

The nine deputies expelled from Adelante Andalucía, now in the non-affiliated group, hung the flags of the LGTBI and Trans collectives and symbols of the gypsy people on the walls of their new workplace.

These nine parliamentarians belong to the Anticapitalist current, led by Teresa Rodríguez, and were expelled as defectors last November.

Just a fortnight ago

, Parliament offered these ten members of parliament a couple of adjoining offices so that they could work.

The expulsion of the nine deputies from Adelante Andalucía also meant that they had to leave the premises of the Chamber where they worked with the rest of the group.

Luz Belinda Rodríguez had been without an office for almost a year, despite the fact that she had requested it repeatedly, as explained by

Norberto Pico

, Falage's national chief and advisor to this parliamentarian.

Nobody gives in

As soon as they were given the dispatches, the former deputies of Adelante hung their flags and

do not intend to take them from there

, despite the ultimatum of Parliament.

Teresa Rodríguez said this Wednesday that they will not remove their emblems and that, if they are removed, they will replace them.

Norberto Pico has explained that they will take down the Falange flag, as long as the other non-attached deputies also eliminate theirs.

"We think it is good that

the neutrality

of a common space

is respected

, as Parliament asks us, and we will withdraw our symbols as long as our colleagues in the office respect it as well," said the advisor to the deputy Luz Belinda Rodríguez.

The Board of the Chamber had given until this Wednesday for the ten non-attached deputies to proceed "to replace the furniture and existing elements in the spaces common to the state in which they were initially found," he says in his letter.

In case of not attending to this official requirement, "by the services of the Chamber, the

pertinent actions will

be carried out

for the adequate organization of the spaces considered and of the furniture and elements existing in them and, where appropriate, for their removal in accordance with that is expressed in the present brief, "affirmed the Table.

Democratic Memory Law

At a press conference in Parliament, Rodríguez has indicated that they will not accept in any way that, by means of a communication from the Parliament Table,

flags

representing rights, such as the LGTBI flag, of the struggle of the Trans movement

are "equated".

and the symbolism of the gypsy people ", in addition to the Andalusian flag, with the Falange flag, which is sanctioned by the Democratic Memory Law approved by Parliament.

For its part, the Andalusian Parliament has argued that common spaces are governed by internal rules that must be complied with "without distinguishing between some symbols and others."

Parliamentary sources have told Efe that the Chamber cannot "legitimize" the actions of deputies who currently do not belong to any political force with representation in this institution, and have recalled that the

common spaces

"are governed by the internal rules of Parliament and not they can be modified or retouched. "

That is why the Parliament, according to the same sources, cannot "distinguish" between some symbols and others regardless of what each one of them represents.

"Although it is true that

there are flags and flags

, Parliament cannot establish distinctions, but rather enforce the rules, which establish that furniture cannot be changed or symbols placed in common spaces," they recall.

In the controversy IU, one of the parties that promoted the expulsion of the Adelante Andalucía group of Teresa Rodríguez and the rest of the deputies who are now not attached.

Adelante Andalucía deputy

Ana Naranjo

(IU) has criticized the fact that the Parliament Board has put

different symbols

"at the same level"

as, as she has remarked, are flags such as the Spanish Falange or the LGTBI movement.

"We cannot compare flags such as LGTBI or others that are inserted with the claim of rights and freedoms within a constitutional framework" with "the flag that represents those who shot the father of the Andalusian homeland",

Blas Infante

, alluding to that of Falange that shines in the unit used by the non-attached deputy Luz Belinda Rodríguez.
