Red Flag Party (in Spanish: Partido Bandera Roja) is a communist party
in Venezuela. It was formed in 1971 by anti-revisionist members of the
Movement of the Revolutionary Left (MIR). The Red Flag Party initially
supported the ideology of Enver Hoxha and the Albanian Party of
Labour.

The party is currently led by Gabriel Rafael Puerta Aponte. After the
electoral victory of Hugo Chávez in 1998, the party started aligning
itself with the right-wing and social democratic opponents of Chávez.
This has led to desertions from the party, as many cadres instead
joined the Chávez camp. The party has also been accused of involvement
in shootings prior to the 2002 coup d'état.

In the 2006 presidential election, the party supported the candidature
of Manuel Rosales. The party got (as one of several parties backing
Rosales) 18,468 votes (0.16% of the nationwide vote) in that election.
