The previous green flag background has been changed to
red sometime between 2001 and 2007. The emblem is kept centered and large,
with two relevant changes considering the previous flag: A hammer replaced
the quill and the main emblem is not anymore on a red pentagon, rather
“hanging” on the “seal” background. There are
two slight variants on line — both being flat flag depictions (no
photos); I’m quite sure that actual flags will show even more
variations.

Partido Socialista de Timor (PST) seems to have a new flag.
J.
Patrick Fischer, 17 May 2012
The flag is a ~1:2 red flag with a black hoist stripe (width approx. 1/8 of
the flag) with a yellow party emblem on the red area, shifted to the hoist, and
white lettering (set in white sans serif upper case letters) spelling large
"PST" on the hoist stripe, vertically with each letter pointing down, and the
party name on the red area, on one line middle to fly. The emblem is quite
different from the previous, showing three (five-pointed upright regular) stars
set in an equilateral triangle, two of them on a vertical axis and the third off
to the fly, enclosing a hammer over what seems to be an eclipsed sun.

The ballot paper and the [t9l07] booklet
show the emblem/seal made of black lines and letters, and stylized fist,
hammer and spear, all on a squarish ~3:4 background. This design also at the
ETAN official
website.

At the parliament
website
(image)
and at the the
ETAN official website shows the emblem/seal made of white lines and
letters, and with a realist depiction of the fist, hammer and spear. (On
a conjectural 2:3 red background. I’m not fully sure that this is a
flag design rather than just a logotype, although almost all other such
designs, at the the parliament website, are flags.

Socialist Party of Timor: green flag with a
circular badge centered. The symbol in the flag
is a simplified version of the complete symbol,
which consists of a white seal with "UNIDADE
ACÇÃO PROGRESSO E IGUALDADE" and "PST" in an
outer arc and "PARTIDO SOCIALISTA DE TIMOR"
in an inner arc and an hexagon in the center, red
with a golden star, a closed fist, a pen and a
spear. I made the image above using this complete
symbol.

I have seen P.S.T. demonstrators waving the red flag
with black triangle. They seem quite comfortable with the similarities
between this flag and the flag of
FRETILIN…

P.S.T. got 6483 votes in the 2001.08.30
elections (1,78%), receiving 1 of 88 seats in the parliament, where it is
the largest of the very small parties.
António Martins, 22 September 2001
In the 2007.06.02 elections P.S.T. got
3982 votes (0,96%) and no seats, falling passing the 3%. Though this fact,
PST-general secretary Avelino Coelho da Silva was appointed by new PM Xanana
Gusmão as new secretary of state for energy. (Secretary of state
is in TL a lower degree than minister, not like in USA).
J. Patrick Fischer, 09 September 2001
A new party, the Democratic Progressive League
is announced to have been created in June 2007 joining all six smaller parties
which received no seats in the Parliament. No news for now about an emblem or
flag.
