Red-green-yellow – this is the color of the flag, added under the words of G. Lipnevičius on a poster, which was not only placed on his account on the social network Facebook, but also printed in the newspaper Radviliškis kraštas administered by him.

He offered to listen to the song by A. Mamontov

“January 13 is a symbol of the unity of the nation and the state of Lithuania. Our freedom is thirty years old! This day will remain in the heart and memory of the Lithuanian people forever, because the unity and faith of the Lithuanians were stronger than the armed forces of the enemy. This day reminds us of the courage defenders of freedom have earned ”, reads the congratulatory banner.

According to the politician, we should be grateful to the heroes of the nation for the opportunity to live in a free Lithuania:

“After all, the greatest value of every nation is freedom. Let’s keep the story of January 13 and remember how our nation was united to pursue its goal of freedom. We must protect it and, if necessary, defend it.”

It seems that G. Lipnevičius, remembering who should be thanked for the freedom defended, forgot what Tricolor is like.

The next day, when commentators drew attention to the strange color combination, it was changed and the real Lithuanian flag appeared on the poster.

“I’m not sure if the songs alone will suffice,” scoffed one commentator, adding a reference to Andrius Mamontov’s song “Yellow.” Green. Red” Record.

Another commenter assessed it more strictly: “There is such a terrible oversight here, is there any deliberate mockery of the state symbol?”

There will be a public apology

Although the error in the Facebook account managed to correct, the newspaper flag was upside down.

As G. Lipnevičius explained to the portal 15 minutes, was commissioned to print said ad in a newspaper, and most likely its creators made the mistake.

The politician himself did not see the final route because he had left. Only the welcome text itself was approved.
