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

FdlR 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.
Dov Gutterman, 15 Feb 2002

Judging from the design, it seems to be an anarchist party.

The emblem and flag of the Partido Revolucionario Dominicano are described in the party statute as follows (my translation):

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.

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.

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.

Chapter II
Emblem / Motto / Colours / Flag

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.

Flag of the Reformist Social Cristian Party for the 2000 campaign

PRVSC flag
image by Aveledo Coll, 18 Aug 2000

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.
