The mayor of Sălsig, Daniel Pop, put up galvanized sheet metal flags, breaking the law and compromising the image of the national flag, provoking negative reactions.

Mayor Daniel Pop has decided to install 100 tricolor flags made of galvanized sheet metal, a controversial choice that does not comply with the legal regulations regarding the Romanian flag. The flags, soiled with bird droppings, cost more than €7,000 and are significantly more expensive than flags made of fabric. These actions have sparked outrage in the community, and the mayor has offered no explanation, leaving room for criticism about respect for national symbols.
