Horizontal green over black.
Source is Smith (1975) [smi75c],
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.

Fuerza de la Revolución is not represented in the
Dominican Congress of the Republic. At
http://www.nodo50.org/fr/.
I don’t know if it is a flag or just a logo.

Judging from the design, it seems to be an
anarchist party.
António Martins, 36 Feb 2002
This is the leading party in the Dominicana Rep.

Partido Revolucionario Dominicano (PRD) uses two flags. Green on white bicolor (with slogans) and logo on white:
The emblem and flag of the Partido Revolucionario Dominicano are described in the party statute as follows (my translation):
I may have missed something but the description of the emblem is incomplete: the field inscribed within the ellipse is horizontally divided black on blue and there is a yellow sun upon the green mountains. In the ellipse, 1939 is placed between two dots.Art. 5 - The party emblem is: inscribed in an ellipse made by the legend Partido Revolucionario Dominicano, above, and below, 1939, a torch raised by a strong hand, on a background of mountains which define the horizon.
Art. 6. - The colour of the Party flag is white and the emblem is placed in the center.

Blue over green seeems to be in the image. But I’m not
sure that is used by the PRD, but for some allied party.

Article 4.- The Reformist Social Cristian Party bears an emblem or symbol a circle formed by a lauril wreath on its left and a palm branch on its right, whose lowere extremes intertwine without their upper extremes touching each other. Around those branches of lauril and palm, two ribbons with the following inscriptions: the upper ribbon, PARTIDO REFORMISTA SOCIAL CRISTIANO; in the lower ribbon, NI INJUSTICIAS NI PRIVILEGIOS ["neither injustices nor privileges"]. Within the circle left by the already described ribbons and branches, there will be an allegory reresenting a dawn on our fields, the sun rising behind the mountains. In front of this allegory, a rooster [red] posing in singing posture, and beneath the rooster, a green machete.
Article 5.- The motto of the Reformist Social Cristian Party is: NEITHER INJUSTICES NOR PRIVILEGES.
Article 6.- The Reformist Social Cristian Party is identified by the vermillion red (colorado).
Article 7.- The flag of the Reformist Social Cristian Party is rectangular shaped, six feet long by four feet wide [2:3], vermillion red coloured, and with the emblem described in article 4 of the current etatutes, embroidered or printed at the centre.
Paragraph: Whenever considered convenient, the size of the flag can be modified, bearing always the proper proportions [2:3] and, in case of need, may not bear the emblem.
Aveledo Coll, 18 Aug 2000, quoting from the party statutes
This flag, which I saw in photographs of the recent presidential race in the
Dominican Republic, had the same proportions as a standerad PRSC flag, in
vermillion red, and, instead of the emblem of the Reformist Social Cristian
Party, the bore an effigy of former president and candidate Joaquin
Balaguer, and some mottos. The only one I saw distincly (somo might have had
different mottos, some had only Dr. Balaguer’s effigy) read: "¡ADELANTE
REFORMISTAS!/ LA PATRIA SOMOS TODOS/ BALAGUER PRESIDENTE 2000" ("go
forward, reformists!/ we all are the Motherland / Balaguer for president
2000").
This flags was definitely mass used and, given the prominence of Dr Balaguer
over his party, you might call take it as official.
Aveledo Coll, 18 Aug 2000
The flag of the Partido Revolucionario Social Cristiano
is green (Slogan: «¡Vota verde!», «Vote green!»), on which a
white lying lozenge with a lying green machete, of which the point
is directed at the fly; on the lemmet: PRSC in white. The small
flag of the party-supporters were wholly green!
