"Proceso", 21 November 2005, reports the end of the
campaign for the general elections (for the President of the
Republic, the Vice-President of the Republic, 128 MPs and 298
Mayors), scheduled for 27 November. Only the two dominant parties
have a chance to win the Presidency, the National Party and the
Partido Liberal. The flags of these two parties are shown on:
Pictures from electoral meetings shown by "Proceso"
confirm our images:
- Partido Nacional: Blue with a white star
- Partido Liberal: Horizontally divided
red-white-red (In one of the images of "Proceso", there
seems to be something in the white stripe of some of the flags,
maybe the party emblem).
"Proceseo" shows three more flags in the heading of the
article:
- a white flag with a circulat red and green emblem
- a yellow flag with UD in red and something unreadable below
- a green flag with a white triangle charged with a white
triangle and circle outlined in green
The article mentions three smaller parties: Unificación
Democrática (left), Innovación y Unidad-Social Demócrata y
Democracia Cristiana. The flag with UD is most probably the flag
of Unificación Democrática. I don't know how to separate the
names of the two last parties: "Innovación" and
"Unidad-Social Demócrata y Democracia Cristiana", or,
"Innovación y Unidad-Social Demócrata" and
"Democracia Cristiana".

Süddeutsche Zeitung (23 Nov 2005, p.9) also shows a colour
photo of a Partido Liberal: rally. I was very
surprised about the abundance of "Austrian" flags,
until I looked it up at this page. It is not too far-fetched, In
my opinion, to assume that the editor who included the photo in
the newspaper, was also struck by the allusion to the Austrian
national flag, and therefore put the photo there.

"El Proceso", 26 November 2005, shows a cartoon and

Unificación Democrática (UD) - Yellow flag with UD in red
Innovación y Unidad (PINU) - White flag with the emblem in the
middle
DC - Green flag with the white triangle.

This is the flag of Fuerza Universitaria Revolucionaria (FUR),
in Honduras. FUR surged after the Sandista revolution in
Nicaragua. It was the university students wing of the underground
Fuerzas Populares Revolucionarias Lorenzo Zelaya.
Today its the university students wing of Partido Unificación
Democrática.

In a Yahoo-news photo,
partisans of the deposed president of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya,
can be seen waving red flags with a black outline portrait of a
somewhat ticked-looking Zelaya in a cowboy (or vaquero) hat.

I found a copy of an article from the heraldist prince George
Ypsilanti in 1943 in "Boletin de la Bibliotea y Archivo
Nacional" Año III, n° 6, dated 31 October 1943, where are
quoted some XIX century party flags in Honduras. All party flags
are described and there are 11 parties (according text from 1821 to
1943). All are bicolored or monocolored flags.
There are three parties that have well known flags:
The federal party has as flag the B-W-B horizontal that remained
as national and that in 1821 was the one of the Federal Republic
of Central America. The Nationalist party and Liberal party have
same flags as today.
There are more parties that I need to search more on them:
- The Gasista (Colonial) Party
- The Peoples Party
- Cotorro Party (Guardiolist Party)
- Fiebres Party
- Policarpist Party
- Anexionist Party
- Separatist party
- Servil or Moderate party
According a presentation signed by Dr. Louis J. Joest, Ypsilanti
was a great expert in heraldry and lived in Honduras (was living
in 1943) Perhaps more articles from heraldry or vexillology were
wrote by Ypsilanti in Honduras in the years around 1943.
