Andecha Astur

Asturian Left

The flag reported by Dov Gutterman is that of Andecha Astur (Asturian Left, I believe), an Asturian nationalist / independentist movement. Note also the flower-like symbol elsewhere in those pages, very similar to that of the Leonese Conceyu Xoven, not unusual since both of them support self-government etc. for Asturian/Leonese speaking regions.

by António Martins and Jordi Pérez

Similar to the device in the [Conceyu Xoven] leonese nationalist flag.

Jaume Ollé, 20 June 1999

Ensame Nacionalista Astur used the Asturian flag with Covadonga [or Victory] cross without Alpha and Omega and with red star in canton (as the image [of Andecha Astur] reported by Dov Gutterman), but only in political meetings because the official flag of the party was white with black emblem in center.

Movimiento Comunista Asturiano

Asturian Communist Movement

The light blue flag with red star was used by several groups in the transition period [1975-mid 1980's]. Some of them used it with the star in canton and others with the star in the centre. Always without cross. I have information about the flag used by the Asturian Communist Movement (c. 1975-1982) that was light blue with large red star in center (1/2 of the flag). When used in canton, the star was a bit small.

Jaume Ollé, 29 June 1999

Lacking better information, I GIFfed the latter in a 2:3 B- background with the star's diameter equal of 5/12ths of the flag's height centered on a imaginary square canton with side equal to half of the flag's height.
