## Municipality of Concordia

image by António Martins, 08 Dec 2004

The flag of Concordia is prescribed by Municipal Decree no. 29,803, adopted on 10 December 1997 and published on 18 December 1997. The flag was designed by Hugo Messer, winner of a public contest prescribed by Decree No. 29,626. The description of the flag provided by the designer is part of the Decree.
The flag was hoisted on 13 December 1997 in the places prescribed by Decree No. 29,660, together with the national and provincial flags.
The flag is horizontally divided green and red, the colours of the arms of Entre Ríos Province. The division of the flag is highlighted by a white and yellow stripe symbolizing a sword. The stripe starts near the hoist with a cross, recalling the early foundation by the Jesuits, and ends near the hoist with a "tacuara"* with red fastenings, as a reference to Federalism.
In the middle of the flag is placed a circular emblem including the following elements:

- River Uruguay, as a geographical element;
- a cog wheel, as a symbol of power and progress and also an implicit reference to the Salto Grande dam;
- a palm-tree, as a typical regional element and also a reference to Concordia's historical coat of arms, lost in a blaze before the centenary of the town;
- the horizon represented in a wavy pattern, referring to a typical geographical feature of the region (Cuchilla de Montiel**)
- a rising sun, as a symbol of truth, majesty, liberty and benevolence.

*a "tacuara" is a rudimentary lance made of a knife blade tied to a stalk of sugarcane, used by gaucho militias during the Argentine war of independence.
**a "cuchilla" is a hill typical to Entre Ríos and Uruguay, also known in Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil) as "coxilha".

The 2nd rank municipality of La Criolla (1,852 inhabitants, 1,307 in the town proper) is located in the Concordia Department, in the north- east of the Entre Ríos Province.
In 2005, the municipal administration of La Criolla launched a contest for a municipal flag. The winner of the contest, Lorena Panozzo, was proclaimed six years later, in July 2011. The flag eventually adopted is Panozzo's proposal, with some modifications.
The flag is horizontally divided light blue-white-light blue, like the Argentine national flag, with an orange fimbriation representing citriculture and a purple fimbriation recalling that La Criolla was proclaimed on 3 December 2008 by the Chamber of Representatives the National Capital of Blueberry Cultivation. In the middle of the flag is the Argentine sun charged with a handshake representing work, a shovel and a rake representing the first tools use in agriculture; forestry, citriculture and blueberry cultivation are represented in the background.

"As part of the celebrations for the 133rd Anniversary of the Founding of Puerto Yeruá, Mayor Daniel Benítez presented the official insignia of the town.
This Saturday, November 20th, in the central Plaza “Quirno Costa”, the main event for the Anniversary of the founding of Puerto Yeruá took place, where the first official raising of the Flag of Puerto Yeruá and the presentation of the local Shield were carried out.
Days ago, the official networks of the Municipality announced the design of the Flag and the Shield that won the public contest “Symbols of my Town”, which was carried out in order to obtain the insignia that represent said locality.
The competition's evaluation committee, made up of councilors and officials from the Municipal Executive, was responsible for selecting the submitted designs.
The new flag has three horizontal sections. The upper section is blue, representing the majestic Uruguay River, which is ever-present and forms part of the local identity and the community's history. The middle section, red, symbolizes the sacrifice and bloodshed of the Battle of Yeruá, and the lower section, green, represents the region's abundant natural beauty. In the center, the sun stands out as a source of warmth and life.
Estefanía Celeste Fernández is the creator of the Flag."
