Description

solid - die sozialistische jugend (solid - the socialist youth) was founded in June 1999 as a youth organization close to the PDS. (...) "solid" certainly recalls "solidarity", but officially it stands for sozialistisch, links, demokratisch i.e. socialist, left, democratic.

"solid" changed their flag in August 2003, see the 'solid online shop.

At the 1st May 2002 demonstration in Munich, a quite interesting, obviously homemade, flag incorporated two PDS flags and two "solid" flags.
