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
