Description of the Flag

The flag is horizontally divided in light blue over white, with a coat-of-arms-like emblem centered thereon above the lettering "Partido Povo Timor" — the party’s name without the smaller words (thus reading "Party People Timor") in yellow capitals edged black. The emblem, read as a coat of arms, is: party per fess argent and argent (?!), a roundel or (windmill stone? punctured coin?) and a pair of crossed daggers proper, inescutcheon “in heart” with Portugal modern. Crest: kaibauk crown, red scroll like wreath and mantling. For supporters, two purple roosters, motto "Timor-Dili" on a golden scroll.

P.P.T. got 7322 votes in the 2001.08.30 elections (2,01%), receiving 2 of 88 seats in the parliament, where it is one of the small parties. The symbol and flag of this party are quite similar to a previously existing entity M.N.L.I.T.D. (Movimento Nacional para a Libertação e Independência de Timor-Díli), reported in Vlaggen 33 (1985): 482-483 [vlg].

MNLITD flag image by António Martins, 22 February 2000

Image with unknown colors in gray, taken from Vlaggen 33 (1985) [vlg]: 482-483. "Timor-Dili" seems to be a 1975 aborted attempt to create an alternative to "Portuguese Timor", following the example of Guinea-Bissau (vs. Guinea-Konakry — here would be vs. Timor-Kupang). As we know, the form "East Timor" caught on instead.
