From Spanish to English - translation.

Question

How would you translate this sentence:

Para el espectador democrático, el que una senyera y una bandera española se agitaran al mismo tiempo fue un síntoma de libertad, de la misma forma que se pudieron ver banderas canarias o andaluzas.

I know that senyera is a Catalan Flag, and I understad the general idea of the sentence but I don't know the best way to translate it.

My poor attempt: For the democratic viewer, which a Catalan flag and a Spanish flag will be agitated while it was a sign of freedom, in the same way that you could see flags of Canary or Andalusia.

Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

I'd say: For a democratic spectator to see a Catalonian and Spanish flag being waved at the same time is a symbol of freedom, as much as it would be to wave a flag from the Canary Islands or Andalusia.

Answer 2

My try : "for the democratic viewer/witness, that Catalan and Spanish flags were flapping togeter was a sign of freedom" The part of the Canary flags seems truncated (I think the phrase "haciendo lo mismo" is missing at the end)
