IRON MAIDEN Flag Rocks Spanish Town Hall; Photo Available
October 14, 2008UK's The Guardian reports that Eddie the Head, the demoniacal mascot of the British heavy metal group IRON MAIDEN, has made his way into the debating chamber of a Spanish town hall.
Eddie's cadaverous face appears regularly at council meetings in the town of Villava, in Navarre, as part of a war of political symbols between local parties.
Basque separatist councillors insist on hanging the Basque flag on their desks during debates, upsetting other politicians at the town hall. Most dislike the idea of the Navarre region being treated as part of the Basque country.
