Yoke and Arrows

The yoke and arrows (yugo y flechas) is a Spanish symbol originally used by Spanish monarchs.

In the 1930s the symbol began to be used by the far-right Falangist party, on the Nationalist side in the Spanish Civil War, which was supported by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. The Falangist party merged with other right-wing and far-right parties, becoming FET y de las JONS, the only legal party during the dictatorship of General Francisco Franco, which lasted until 1975. 

Like the fasces, the yoke and arrows generally represent unity, strength and power (i.e., a bundle of arrows bound together being less breakable than a single arrow). Public authorities in Spain have been banned from displaying the symbol in places under state administration since 2007. But the symbol is still displayed by groups and individuals. 

The specific version used by the Falange and in Francoist Spain, with five arrows pointed upwards, continues to be used by contemporary hate groups in propaganda and communications.
