How is the symbol on the Spain flag connected to the extreme right? I always just assumed that was his personal thing somehow
Hi 👋👋👋👋
So the siluete on the flag Jorge carries is the Toro de Osborne (Osborne's bull).
Tumblr media
This started as a publicity stunt and the siluete was put along some Spanish road. In fact, in some places it can still be see, not in Catalonia, where I'm from.
Somehow, that symbol started to pop up in flags and become a symbol of Spain's unity and crushing the unique identity of some Spanish areas (Catalonia, Basque Country and Galicia for example).
Tumblr media
That unity is usually linked to the right (PP) and far/extrem right (Vox) in Spain. So basically a symbol that was mant to represent Spain become a symbol of the extreme right. I can't find any, but where there are right/extreme right demonstration or politic events this flag can be seen around.
It's true that is a personal choice, but so is what parties do you vote. I'm from Catalonia and if I see that flag in the street I know it's someone from Vox. I don't know if the flag holds the same meaning and have the same connotation in Madrid (where Jorge is from) because the right has more power and influence. It probably does, but the use is more widespread than in other areas.
It's okay to not know this because Spain is all about the bulls and bullfighting and one can assume it's just a non-official flag (and it kind of it), but in this case is kind of a display of his political believe. Don't quote me on him voting for the right (or extreme right), but he clearly is not a left voter.
Sorry for the info dumping in here

Love love love that you tagged me @your-local-crzy-lady 🫶🏻
I think I found the lockscreen/homescreen pics on tumblr, but for the life of me I can’t remember the artist 😭
Unironically writing an essay in which I’m quoting/referencing “In The Navy” by the village people 💀
The last pic is something I’m working on and so far I’m not happy with it yet 🥲. It’s supposed to look like a romcom movie poster. Don’t tell me if it doesn’t 🙃
As always much love 🫶🏻🩷💚
