Panamanian Flag Meaning
The Panamanian flag's colors represent loyalty and resilience, the two political parties of Panama, the Liberals red and the Conservatives blue. The white symbolizes peace between them and the equal division of the colors states that they both govern the country at different times. The blue represents the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea and red stands for the blood spilt for Panama's independence. The blue star represents the civic virtues of purity and honesty and the red star symbolizes the authority of the law.
