Four Spanish police offers entered the pressroom of ElDiario.es newsroom, on the second floor of Madrid’s central avenue, Gran Vía, when they saw a Republican flag in the window. Iñigo Sáenz de Ugarte explained the event on Twitter. “It was quite clear to them that it was a symbolic gestured protected by the constitution,” he said. And afterwards, “When an officer said that today was not the day for such a gesture, I told him “don’t go there, because you’ll get mired in legal trouble.” And then they said goodbye amiably.
Here was how he explained it on Twitter (in Spanish):
Cuatro policías han subido a la redacción de eldiario.es después de que en la ventana se haya puesto la bandera republicana brevemente.

Les ha quedado claro y meridiano que se trataba de un gesto simbólico que está protegido por la Constitución.

Cuando un agente ha dicho que hoy no era el día para ese gesto, le he dicho: “No vaya por ahí que se va a meter en un lío jurídico”.

Y luego nos hemos despedido amablemente.
