Description of the Flag

It's black with the symbol in red at the center and "BLOCO DE ESQUERDA" below, also red. The symbol could be described as a 4-pointed distorted star with a disc above, producing the sketch of a human figure with open arms and legs.
Jorge Candeias, 20 May 1999


Presentation of B.E.

This left-wing coalition (P.S.R. and Política XXI) did constitute itself as a party already [avoiding thus the law that prescribes that coalitions must not run under a coalition symbol, rather using the emblems of all coalition members], adopting the name Bloco de Esquerda.
Jorge Candeias, 20 May 1999
