https://informativodabahia.com.br/destaques/buritirama
June 15, 2019
Following a court order from the Barra District Court, which requested
changes to the city's names and colors due to the practice of cultizing the
personality of living individuals. Mayor Ded Alves previously used the red,
white, and green colors of the city's monuments and public buildings. He
submitted a bill to the Legislature, and the council members, in the exercise of
their powers, approved the change to municipal law No. 008/97, which defined the
colors of the city's flag and coat of arms.
Law No. 172/2019 was
sanctioned by the municipal mayor Judisnei Alves de Souza, which changed the
certain colors of the municipal flag and coat of arms to: GREEN, which
represents our forests, WHITE, which represents peace, and ORANGE, which
represents the color of the pulp of the buriti fruit, the original palm tree
that bears the name of the municipality.
The COAT OF ARMS has changed
colors to orange; in the center there will be a buriti palm tree with the
horizon in the background representing the sunrise over the municipality's
mountains.
