![[Partido dos Aposentados da Nação (Brazil)]](../images/b/br}pan.gif)
by Jorge Candeias
A small party with little electoral expression but some media
coverage. The image is based on one I found in their website,
suggesting that the party flag is white with the party logo. The logo consists of a green
lozenge partially covered to the right by an orange ellipse. The initials are placed over this
geometrical pattern in thick blue italic characters, occupying the area of
the lozenge, and the party name in full is written in small italics to its
right.

The Federalist Party wants a
more federal structure for Brazil, transferring more power from the central
government to the states.
Jorge Candeias, 9 May 1999
The Federalist Party's new
flag is a totally white rectangle with a four color tree at the center. The tree's colors are:
The PF is not registered with the Brazilian
Supreme Electoral Tribunal and therefore had no candidates for election in the 2002 campaign.

According to Article 2 of the party statute the flag is green and yellow, with two green stripes, the upper inscribed
Partido Geral dos Trabalhadores in blue and the lower O Partido da Gente
in blue, the yellow stripe with the inscription PGT 30 in blue, with the
symbol of the PGT in white outlined blue diagonally over the letter G. The symbol includes a tool combining a ballpoint pen with its
point over the lower part of the letter P and a wrench with its mouth on the upper part of the T.
The PGT failed to elect any federal deputies or senators in 2002.

Not represented in Congress.

The National Mobilization Party usually goes to
elections preaching ideals of freedom for Brazil. Though not being, as far as I know, a
regionalist party, it is based in the state of Minas Gerais and its symbols are based
on the symbols of Minas, which in turn were based on the symbols adopted
by the rebellion known as the Inconfidência Mineira."
The flag is therefore white with a red triangle.
Jorge Candeias, 29 April 1999
According to article 3 of the party statute, "The flag is white with a red equilateral triangle on the center with
the inscription in base in black, "PMN" (outside the polygon)." The PMN elected one deputy in the 2002 elections.

The National Consumers Party is (still?) not a registered party, but has a
web presence, in which it talks about the defense of the consumer's rights as
its main objective, and with a prominent logo featuring a flag: a green-yellow
vertical bicolor with the party's initials in blue overall, in an
evident alusion to the national flag.
Jorge Candeias, 29 April 1999
No seats in Congress.

This flag belongs to a party that
nearly vanished from the Brazilian political scene. The PRN (Party of
National Renewal) was the party behind former President Collor
de Mello, who got impeached for corruption some years ago. The flag is
white with black initials below a logo that could be described as an
outlined graffitti version of the brazilian flag: a dark green rectangle, a
yellow lozenge, and a blue circle.

PRONA elected six candidates to the Chamber of Deputies in 2002.

Article 2 of the party statute defines the flag as either "a green or white field and the fish logo in green
or white." It doesn't mention the name as shown above. The PSC elected a single deputy in the 2002 elections.

The official norms for manufacture of the PSDC flag at the party website give dimensions of
60 x 100, 90 x 150 or 120 x 200 cm. The flag has two yellow stripes lengthwise at the top and bottom and a blue central stripe, all equal.
On the center the initials PSDC with all the letters white except the "S" which is yellow , all in Arial bold italic letters 14, 21, or 28 cm high
depending on the size of the flag. The PSDC elected one deputy in 2002.

A green party without a green flag and without the almighty sunflower of
the international ecological political movement. Instead, the flag of this
party is white with the party logo centered. The logo is also in the nature of
graffitti, with a green "V" within a green circle. The
source for this image is a photograph from one of the party's websites, so
the accuracy (in terms of usage) is high. Carlos Noronha confirms it. I find it
interesting that this flag and arrangement reminds me of the international
banner of peace.
Jorge Candeias, 29 April 1999
Article 4 of the party statute provides for "a white flag with the "V" inside a circle, both green."

The Greens elected five federal
deputies in the 2002 elections.

![[Suggested New Flag of Brazil]](../images/b/br!amor.gif)
by Antonio Martins
This one is unbelievable: in Brazil, a group of citizens is lobbying
to add "love" to the national motto "order and progress!" At their
site [no longer available-Ed.] "Bota amor nessa bandeira!" ("Put some love on that flag!"),
a photo of a real flag (i.e., made of cloth) can be seen--which could
be considered illegal, since the Brazilian constitution explicitly forbids
any changes to (or variants from) the national flag. (I wonder
if the state flags of Mato Grosso or Ceará would qualify).
António Martins, 22 November 1998
