The Municipality of Resistencia is the capital of the Chaco Province. It is located in the Department of San Fernando.

Its flag was adopted in July 2019.

"Under the pseudonym Jorge Quinto, Sacha Mijail Vanioff was chosen as the winner among 38 initiatives presented to be converted into the Resistencia flag. The president of the Municipal Council, Gustavo Martínez, along with his colleague María Teresa Celada, and the members of the jury presented the winning design of the “A Flag for Resistancia” contest.

Initiative agreed upon by all the councilors of the communal Legislature “to leave a cultural legacy to the city.” The 38 initiatives were evaluated by a jury made up of Fabriciano Gómez, Marilyn Cristofani, Fabio Echarri, Rolando Andolfi and Daniel Svenson, along with three councilors.

IT'S NOW OFFICIAL

During the conference, which was also attended by the president of Fogón Friulano, Horacio Martino; and the secretary of the Ente Friuli Nel Mondo, Cristian Canciani, the jury presented the councilors with the officialization certificate of the winning project, and thus the design that will carry the Resistencia flag was made official. It was created by Sacha Mijail Vanioff, 27 years old, who entered the contest under the pseudonym Jorge Quinto.

Martínez thanked the broad participation of all those registered in the contest and the Social Club for providing its facilities to carry out the presentation of the winner. She also thanked her peers María Cecilia Baroni, one of the authors of this initiative, and María Teresa Celada, co-author.

The flag is 3:4 with a large white tilted square centered on it and separating the background in two symmetrical areas — green at the hoist (or at least at the left hand side of the presented original artwork, supposed to be meant as the obverse of a mirror-reverse flag), and light blue at the fly. Centered on the square, a stylized sun resembling a chakana, consisting of a smaller, golden yellow voided tilted square with four rectangular orthogonal beams emanating from each of its sides, the two on the middle twice longer.
