Overview
- The Catalan Parliament filed a recurso de reposición on Tuesday, a motion asking the same court to reconsider provisional orders that demand the flags be raised at once and kept up at all times.
- The court order came from the High Court of Justice of Catalonia after the civic group Impulso Ciudadano brought a contentious‑administrative case seeking constant display of the Spanish flag.
- Parliament argues it has flown the Spanish and Catalan flags only on plenary days since 1981, a practice written into a 2009 board agreement, saying the flags signal when a session is under way and do not exclude anyone.
- The chamber says it could next pursue a recurso de casación, a further appeal to a higher court, if the judges reject this bid to halt the measures.
- The dispute spotlights who controls protocol in Catalonia, with the chamber led by Josep Rull of Junts, and follows its earlier refusal of a request to boost the Spanish flag on grounds it already met the rules.
