I came across the sandino flag of 1932: a roughly 1:2 flag divided vertically red/black, red near hoist, a skull & crossbones on the black.

Official website at www.fsln-nicaragua.com. More information at en.wikipedia.organd www.tkb.org. The photo of the flag of 1932is a photo of US Marines with the captured flag of Augusto César Sandino in Nicaragua in 1932.

I have encountered another FSLN-derived flag. It is the Territorio Victorioso de Analfabetismo (Victorious Analphabetism Territory) flag seen at Spanish wikipedia. It is a flag of a Sandinista government campaign to eradicate Analphabetism (Illiteracy) in the country. This flag appeared in the neighborhood Laura Sofía Olivas Paz of the Municipality of Ocotal.

The flag may be used with or without the letters. When used, the letters may have red or black fimbriation, or none. Red and black are sometimes reversed, also either with or without the letters. The version with the letters is currently known only with the letters fimbriated black.

FNT - Frente Nacional de los Trabadajores

[ [Flag of Sandinistas] ](../images/n/ni}fnt.gif)image by Ivan Sache, 15 February 2008

"Frente Nacional de los Trabadajores" (FNT, Workers' National Front), founded on 28 April 1990, is both a coordination of workers' union and a political party. Of Sandinist allegiance and often allied with FNSL, FNT won six seats in the national parliament in 2000; after the 2004 municipal elections, FNT had 11 Mayors and 110 Municipal Councillors in 62 municipalities. FNT is divided in eight workers' organizations, 76 federations and 665 unions; its membership increased from 137,000 to 161,000 from 1999 to 2005. Web site at www.fnt.org.ni.
The symbols of FNT are the red flag with the acronym FNT in black letters placed in the middle, together with the map of Nicaragua and the monument to the Popular Fighter (Source: www.fnt.org.ni/MisionyVision.html).
After the images shown on the FNT website, I understand the above sentence as a description of both the flag (red with FNT) and the emblem (with the map and the monument) of the movement. Image of the flag is after the photographies taken during the VIth Congress of the CTCP. CTCP is "Confederación de Trabadajores for Cuenta Propia" (Independent Workers' Confederation); the flag of CTCP, also shown on the photographs, is white with the CTCP emblem, made of a green map of Nicaragua charges with the black letters CTCP-FNT and surrounded by a ring charged with the name of the confederation in black letters. (Source: www.fnt.org.ni/gvicongreso.html).
"Confederación General UNE" ("Union Nacional de Empleados" - Employees' National Union) has a white flag with the black and white emblem of the union in the middle, surrounded by CONFEDERACIÓN GENERAL, above the emblem , in an arched pattern, and UNE, below the emblem, all the lettering being in red. The flag, which has a golden fringe, can be seen onphotographstaken during a press conference by UNE.
Several other flags, belonging to confederations or unions member of FNT, can be seen on photographs shown on the FNT website, but the images are too small to be accurately described and assigned.

The party uses the flag with letters "FNT" either serif or (maybe more recently) sans serif.

PC - Partido Conservador

PC - Partido Conservador has two flags:
A plain green as in www.cse.gob.niand a green with initials as in www.ideay.net.ni.
Dov Gutterman, 26 Febuary 2002

The flag of the Partido Conservador is shown in two variants, one plain green and the other one green with the white letters PC.
The website of the Partido Conservador has the status of the party www.partidoconservador.org.ni:
Article 3. The Partido Conservador has for emblem a green flag. It is identified by the acronym PC. The shield of the party is the torch of liberty surrounded by a circle bearing the legend: Partido Conservador and the motto: Dios Orden Justicia (God Order Justice).
Ivan Sache, 10 March 2005

The Partido Conservador, Nicaragua's oldest political party, was established on 27 October 1851 as Partido Legitimista. The PC ruled the country from 1910, after the US invasion, to the 1923 liberal revolution.

The (re-founded) PC was registered on 21 February 1992 as the merger of the Partido Conservador Demócrata de Nicaragua (PCDN) and the Partido Social Conservatismo (PSOC), originally called Partido Conservador de Nicaragua (PCN).
In the 2016 general election, the PC secured 1 out of the 92 seats at the National Assembly and another 1 at the Central American Parliament.

There is no evidence of the use of the flag with letters, which could be removed. Our old reports clearly refer to drawings only, while the party's Statutes prescribe a plain green flag, which is featured on several photos. Moreover, the "PC" logo has changed.

The link to the party's Statutes has to be updated to

PLC - Partido Liberal Constitucionalista

image by António Martins, 21 October 2002

PLC - Partido Liberal Constitucionalista (Constitutional Liberal Party, conservative) is the leading party in NI.
Two versions of its flag.:
Plain red as in www.cse.gob.ni.
Plain red with initials as in www.ideay.net.ni.
Dov Gutterman, 26 February 2002

Two flags are shown for the Partido Liberal Constitucionalista. According to the official status of the party, the plain red flag should be the only official flag of the party. Here is my translation of the article of the status concerning the flag at www.plc.org.ni:
"Article 8 - Emblems
A. The flag: the main emblem of the party is made of a red rectangle with proportion 3:5. It should be hoisted permanently on the Party buildings, side by side with the national flag, as well as during actions and official ceremonies of the Party, according to the circumstances, places and opportunities to hoist it. The red colour identifies the PLC to its Flag, which should not bear letters, symbols and distinctive elements on its field or edges."
