Article 154 – How to fold the National Flag
To fold the National Flag, it will be extended horizontally, ensuring that it does not present any foreign appearance or body. A centrally located element will hold it on its outstretched arms. Next, one blue stripe is folded over the white one at the top and the other is folded at the bottom, in such a way that the white one is covered on both sides, then it is folded lengthwise, in half, then it is folded in a triangular shape along both ends, until ending in the center in a triangle that is finally taken by the guard on his crossed arms in such a way that the base of the triangle is towards his body and the vertex on both hands.
