Description

I found some kind of a black flag with the letter A in circle on it. Since it is from Madrid, mayby our Spanish members could tell us more about it.

Dov Gutterman, 28 Dec 1998

The capital A within a circle is the symbol of the anarchist movement (at least in Spain, but I believe it is semi-universal). Very typical in graffitti on walls, stickers (white on black, as in that website) and the like. It belongs to no particular party or organisation.

Santiago Dotor, 28 Dec 1998

This [red and black] flag was used by the CNT-AIT, an anarcho-syndicalist union that fought against General Franco in the Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939.

Jamal Hannah, 05 Oct 1995

CNT has a branch in France, Confédération Nationale des Travailleurs, which uses the same flag as the Spanish CNT.

Last weekend, I was in Mataró town, Maresme county, Barcelona province, Catalonia, and saw the CNT/AIT flag: the generic anarchosyndicalist pattern with white letters "CNT" on the top hoist and "AIT" on the lower fly (reverse unreadable). It was explained to me that the letterless flag is a general worldwide anarchosyndicalist banner and any letterings identify a particular organization.

This the symbol of the anarchist and syndicalist CNT union of Spain. The CNT is still a functioning labor union in Spain; it Is also the only union in Spain to have barging power but refuse government funds.
