=== Symbols and flags === {{Main|Flag of Martinique}} Martinique adopted a new flag on February 2, 2023, featuring a red triangle at the hoist and two horizontal bands of green and black. The flag of France is also flown alongside it as the country's parent country. A previous competition to create a flag in 2018 was annulled by the local administrative tribunal, but the island began a new public vote in 2022, with the hummingbird design being selected as the winner. However, the designer withdrew her design due to accusations of plagiarism, and the runner-up design, the rouge-vert-noir ("red-green-black"), was adopted. This flag is also the preferred symbol of Martinique's independence movement. <gallery mode="small" class="center"> Image:Flag of the Territorial Collectivity of Martinique.svg|The Ipséité is a civil flag, designed for use in international cultural and sporting events to represent the territory Image:MARTINIQUE TAEKWONDO DRAPEAU.svg|Flag sometimes used by Martinique in taekwondo competitions Image:Snake Flag of Martinique.svg|A St Michael cross with white snakes.
