Overview
- The Administrative Court No. 7 of Madrid on February 6 dismissed Vox’s case, finding the LGTBIQ+ symbols non‑partisan, consistent with equality promotion, and not a breach of institutional neutrality or the regime of official flags.
- The ruling said Vox lacked a direct, concrete interest to sue, noting that political disagreement alone does not establish legal standing.
- The decision is not final, and an appeal may be filed.
- The court recorded that the displays were installed by Más Madrid and the PSOE on the municipal‑groups building, and it declined to impose costs on Vox.
- Following the judgment, Más Madrid and the PSOE praised the outcome, while Mayor José Luis Martínez‑Almeida said City Hall will still not hang the LGTBI flag on Cibeles, citing the requirement to fly only official flags.
