Description of the flag

Their flag is a red field with a yellow sickle and hammer in the canton, and «PCTP/MRPP» in yellow below it.
Jorge Candeias, 26 Sep 1997

It is interesting to note that the star is solid yellow, not red with yellow outline, as usual in soviet-inspired regalia. This maoist party may have been influenced thence by P.R.C. flag’s solid stars (the chinese mainland communist party flag has no stars, and the sickle has a very typical round handle), or may be due simply to carelessness or sheer chance.
António Martins, 20 May 2004

There’s a possibility that they have a variation with a centered emblem, but if they do, I’ve never seen it. And I’m pretty sure that the official flag has the emblem in the canton, for having seen it a number of times in the party’s propaganda times on TV during electoral campaigns.

Presentation of P.C.T.P./M.R.P.P.

The Communist Party of the Portuguese Workers / Reorganizational Movement of the Proletariate Party (PCTP/MRPP - Partido Comunista dos Trabalhadores Portugueses / Movimento Reorganizativo do Partido do Proletariado) is a maoist party, very active in the 70s, especially with big mural paintings (they got known as Meninos Rabinos Pintam Paredes, that is «Nasty Children Painting Walls») Jorge Candeias, 26 Sep 1997

This maoist party was very active after the 1974 revolution (some even said it was secretely backed by the US, to undermine the main communist party) and in a way it still is. Though it never managed to elect any MPs, a number of its members are well known polititians, notably some former members who are now right-wing liberals, including the current prime-minister [Durão Barroso, later president of the European Council].
