ANC[edit]

The link you provide actually details a set of instructions from the ANC for what people bringing estelades and banners should do, which is what is reflected in El País. Your link does not say that what El País says is biased, nor that the ANC did not indeed call for such actions, and here in Wikipedia we should abide by what sources say (also keeping in mind WP:PRIMARY).

Well, that's not what they said prior to the demonstration. They (including ANC's president himself through his Twitter account) literally called for filling it with "thousands of flags with black crespons", in response to the presence of the King (and in their official statement, they named for those to be either the estelada or the senyera). Other sources just report on this. Ada Colau was even urged to call for not turning it into a "demonstration of flags" prior to it being held, in response to the ANC's calls.

Jordi Sànchez called for people to bring flags, and the ANC did pointed out which flags in its official statement. Ada Colau had to intervene to try to call off such a call, which sparked much controversy, and still she was left unheeded by everyone. The current wording is correct as pointed out by sources.
