According to the ceremonial of the state of Minas Gerais, the Governor of the
State of Minas Gerais has a distinctive flag, which indicates his presence in
government buildings and barracks of the state Military Police, the Fire

During the taking up of office of the new governor of the State of Minas Gerais, I saw two flags side by side,
one the flag of the state, the other looking like a governor's insignia: a white field with the state
coat of arms at the center.
