While the President’s flag is still used nowadays,
I’ve never seen any of the others, and I wouldn’t be
surprised if they were abolished after the 1974
revolution.
António Martins, 03 Feb 1998
The President’s flag is a plain green 2:3 with the national
coat of arms (only sphere and shield, no
ribbon nor wreath) in the center.
António Martins, 03 Feb 1998
The Prime Minister flag is like a regular minister’s flag,
but differs by a gold on red laurel border.
António Martins, 03 Feb 1998
A flag for the Prime Minister was adopted 2 february 1972. This flag is like the
flag of the President, but is white with a green saltire with the Arms (sphere and
shield) at the centre. There is a red border on all four sides with a pattern of
laurel leaves in gold. This replaces the former flag of the Minister of defence.
Mark Sensen, 05 Jun 1997, quoting [bar]
The Minister flag is a 2:3 white with green saltire charged with the coat of
arms in the center.
António Martins, 03 Feb 1998
An ordinary Minister has the same flag [as the prime-minister]
but without border."
Mark Sensen, 05 Jun 1997, quoting [bar]
There is no “Ministery of the Navy” anymore, so it’s flag if still exists, must
be used by the ministery of defense, or by the president in his condition of supreme
commander of the armed forces.
Jorge Candeias, 22 Jul 1998
The Navy Ministry uses a regular cross throughout instead of saltire, being this
the “top” level for green-cross-on-white naval rank flags
of the Portuguese Navy.
António Martins, 03 Feb 1998
The Minister for the Navy has a white flag with a green cross of Saint George,
with the Arms in the centre."
Mark Sensen, 05 Jun 1997, quoting [bar]
The Minister for War has a flag divided vertically like that of the Army, but
with five white stars over all, arranged in a ring."
Mark Sensen, 05 Jun 1997, quoting [bar]
