Nationalist Party


by Ivan Sache, 6 August 1999

Nationalist Party - Vertical red-white-blue with a white "mirrored" 3 in red stripe, a red P in white stripe and a white N in blue stripe. "By the coup of 11 October 1968, colonel Omar Torrijos, head of tha national guard, overthrew the president Arnulfo Arias, which had been elected a few days before." [eun]
At the date of parution of Smith's book, Panama was under the rule of a unique party, and I guess this was the Nationalist Party.
Source is Smith (1975), pp. 340-341 ("Symbols in politics"). Smith says that these are real flags and not only party emblems, which may differ in colours when used as emblem or in a flag.
Description of the party, comes from Encyclopaedia Universalis CD-ROM (1998)
Ivan Sache, 6 August 1999

The 3PN stands for "Tercer Partido Nacionalista" (3rd Nationalist Party) - one of the government coalition parties that lost the 1968 elections won by the Panamenista party.  11 days after the Panamenista president was inaugurated, Torrijos overthrew him.
At the time of Smith´s book (1975) all political parties including the 3PN were banned by Torrijos and no unique official party existed.  Torrijos formed the PRD party in 1979 also allowing all other parties.
The 3PN joined the Republican and one of the Liberal parties to form the opposition MOLIRENA

Solidaridad


by Antonio Martins, 23 March 2000


1:2 version by Ivan Sache, 26 December 1999

These four hands supposedly stand for inter-racial solidarity and fellowship, OK. But who's who? Brown should be for anfrican panamians, thats clear. But what about the others?
Antonio Martins, 23 March 2000

I suspect that the hands stand for (by generally accepted continent of origin)
White - Europeans
Red - Americans
Yellow - Asians
Black - Africans

It is reminiscent of lyrics from the children's song:

"Red and Yellow Black and White,
They are precious in His site,
Jesus loves the little children
of the world"
Nathan Bliss, 24 March 2000

Just a guess, but may I suggest brown for African, yellow for Asian (Chinese), rose (red) for Native Indian, and white for European?
Joe McMillan, 25 March 2000
