The previous green flag background has been changed to
red somewhen 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.

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. demonstrants 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%), recieving 1 of 88 seats in the parlament, where it is
the largest of the very small parties.
António Martins, 22 Sep 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).

A new party, the Democratic Progressive League
is announced to have been created in June 2007 joining all six smaller parties
which recieved no seats in the Parliament. No news for now about an emblem or
flag.
