Guten Morgen Leute. Ich bin Brasilianer, wie meine ganze Familie, mein Onkel war im Urlaub in Spanien und fand diesen Aufkleber wunderschön und beschloss, ihn für meinen Vater zu kaufen, der ihn prompt auf sein Auto klebte. Mein Vater hat keine Ahnung, was das bedeutet, aber diese Axt ist identisch mit der italienischen Faschistenaxt. Haben Sie eine Vorstellung vom Ursprung dieses speziellen Emblems? Danke!

Hello! Don’t worry about it. It’s the emblem of Guardia Civil, a type of police here in Spain. The Guardia Civil is a national law enforcement agency in Spain with both military and civilian responsibilities. Mainly, it operates across rural areas, highways, ports, and borders, focusing on maintaining public order, protecting citizens, and combating crime.

It is the logo of the Guardia Civil.
Now teach your dad to say “Viva España, Viva el Rey, Viva el Orden y la Ley.”
The rod symbol is called fasces.

The whole sticker is from the guardia civil, a police organization.

I just find it weird to see people with that stuff on their cars or wearing armbands with symbols from police or armed forces.
I see lots of guys jogging or doing sports with shirts saying “Legion” something, crazy glorification of the army. I tend to avoid such people.
Viva la guardia civil!
The Italian took that from the Roman Empire, wich is the same source from wich Spain take it
It’s the shield of the Civil Guard in Spain: https://www.guardiacivil.es/es/index.html

Emblem of the guardia civil, which contains one of the best departments in law enforcement in Spain, SEPRONA, protectors of the enviroment and animals.
As others have pointed out, the symbol is called a fasces, and although the Fascists co-opted it and even named themselves after it, it’s much older going back to Ancient Rome, where it was carried by the [lictors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lictor), the magistrates’ attendants and bodyguards. It is thus a long-standing symbol of justice, and as such you can find it not only in the coat of arms of the Guardia Civil, but also in that of the [French Republic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France#/media/File:Arms_of_the_French_Republic.svg) and in the [Lincoln Memorial](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_Memorial#/media/File:The_Lincoln_Memorial_Statue,_with_inscription_in_background.jpg) in Washington DC (look under both his arms), among other places.
If you look a little deeper into the significance and history of Spain and the Guardia Civil, you’ll find some interesting facts.
I went to school with a woman in her 70’s from Bilbao and I introduced her to a friend who is retired Guardia Civil.
I thought she had seen a ghost. Her mood changed dramatically. From cheerful to contempt and fear.
Spain has a LOT of nuance and history. The iconography and the GC are not universally seen in a positive light.
Spain is by no means monolithic or a singular experience.
Congrats to your dad, that is one of the biggest criminal bands from Spain.
Everyone can put what they like on their car but anyone familiar with the guardia civil will form some preconceptions about the owner of the car that you might not be comfortable with. Celebrating the guardia civil is definitely heavily associated with quite rightwing ideologies. None of these are exactly the same thing but if you’re familiar with US, imagine driving around with a MAGA badge or a confederate flag.
Maybe where you live there will be few people familiar with the symbol and your dad can just enjoy it for the aesthetics without any fuss but personally I wouldn’t like having that on anything I own. Honestly it seems like a good way to get your car keyed.
Probably a good idea to avoid traffic stops

Your uncle has bad taste.
Every police’s goal is to protect an economic and political status quo. Neither this police nor other will ‘protect’ you if you pose a threat to the continuity of the system. Just a quick reminder.

I don’t want to meet your father
He’s gonna get a big fat paper for impersonating the police.
Im French of Spanish origin (you can guess why my grandparents emigrated). If I see in this sticker on a car I would assume the owner is a fascist who wants to go back to Franco time. I didn’t know this sign, but that’s the first thing that came to my mind. Comments kind of confirm. Guardia civil also don’t have the best reputation. Idk if you have many Spanish immigrants and descents in Brazil, probably more in other South American countries, but I certainly wouldn’t keep that logo on a car even if there is no intention behind. In France it wouldn’t fly.
