Autonomic Insignias of the Azores
Type of honour award in the Azores region, Portugal / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Azorean Autonomic Insignia are regional honours in the Azores region, Portugal, which were created by Regional Legislative Decree n. 36/2002/A, of 28 November[1] and are regulated by Regional Legislative Decree n. 10/2006/A, of 20 March.[2] The aim of the honours are to distinguish, in life or posthumously, citizens or legal persons who stand out for personal or institutional merits, acts, civic deeds or services rendered to the Azorean people.[3] The attribution of the Azorean Autonomic Insignia is made through parliamentary decision and they are usually awarded on the Region's Day, in a solemn session co-chaired by the Presidents of the Legislative Assembly and the Regional Government of the Azores.
