Dolnośląskie Vojvodship flag

Despite the efforts of the leadership, the Lower Silesian Legislature (Sejmik) failed yesterday to choose between the two final proposals for the flag of the Voivodship. The debate on the subject was postponed until new session.

Dolnośląskie Vojvodship coat of arms

Dolnośląskie newest flagproposal

Next voting on the choice of the new flag will take place at the end of this month.
The previous proposals will face a new one ( or rather rehashed ones from 2001 - black eagle on golden flag, either in the center of it, or in the canton)
The choice of new flag in September was hampered by the overwhelmingly negative opinion by the general public and was a pawn in the political infighting in the Legislature (Sejmik) between the coalition of PO (Citizen's Platform) and its partner PSL (Polish Peasants' Party on one side and PiS (Law and Justice) on the other. (PO didn't want PiS to take credit for the new flag)
The new (old) propsal was submitted yesterday by the Marshal of Sejmik (Legislature), Mr.Marek Łapiński of PO (Citizen'sPlatform) and is virtually assured passage in the incoming vote due to the majority which the coalition commands now and to the anticipated better reception by the general public, which called the September proposal either "Prussian flag" or "flag of the Luftwaffe".
The black eagle on gold reflects better both Polish and German heritage of Lower Silesia and should be more acceptable to the citizens of the Voivodship.
Attached is a proposal with the eagle in the canton.

Dolnośląskie new flagproposals

This is just to make you aware of the upcoming vote in the Lower Silesian legislature (Sejmik) to chose the new flags (territorial and ceremonial) from among two final sets of proposals. The vote is supposed to take place this month (September), although the precise date wasn't announced yet.
Attached are the final proposals which would be subject to vote by the Legislature.

Public reaction is rather lukewarm, most of the respondents don't like neither one of the proposals.
The CoA stays the same as before.
