It is common that, with each change of government, public resources are used to change the institutional image, which is used to use colors identified with political parties.

Until now, the governments were not sanctioned by these bad practices, but, as of next September 1st of this year, the City Councils will be obliged to unify their image, based on the established criteria.

Likewise, the Government of the State, the Congress, the Judicial Power and the autonomous organisms will have to do the same but as of the first of January of 2023.

And is that the State Congress unanimously approved the Law of Institutional Image for the State and Municipalities, which states that, regardless of the administration that is, the different Powers will have to unify their image.

In this regard, only the colors white, gray and black may be used. Otherwise, the sanctions established in the General Law of Administrative Responsibilities may be imposed, depending on the seriousness of the fault.
