Two conflicting flag designs to be reported, both differing from the
2001 design. There’s a basic similarity between
both designs, the blue-bordered yellow disc. This might imply a change of
symbols in the meantime between both sources.

Leaflet [t9l07] and the voting bulletin
show a different flag, also white with a different logo
and lettering: yellow disc rimmed in dark blue with a windrose star on it,
red-bordered white, longer tips for the cardinal directions, borderless white,
shorter for the collateral directions, and a white dove flying, outlined in
black, on a white disc on its center. Letters "Partido Democrata Cristão"
arched above and around the disc (from 8 to 4 o’clock) and "PDC" straight
under it, all set in black serif capitals; red scroll bellow all with "Luta
ba isin no klamar", in smaller similar letters.

At the parliament
website
the flag is ~3:4 white with a large yellow disc rimmed in light blue and
charged with a brown Latin cross (not reaching the edges) and lettering
"Partido Democrata Cristao" (sic!) and
"(PDC)" in two lines set in red sans serif capitals.
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.

The logo (and thus the flag?) of P.D.C. shows on a white background a large
golden yellow disc and on it a brown cross couped. Arched above the disc, the
black capital Tetum lettering "Memperjuangkan nilai-nilai Kekristenam",
and, below the disc on a straight line, "PDC" in very thick and
elongated black capitals.

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