Avanzada Nacional leaflet inviting supporters to greet "the President" on his birthday (1986)
A one-colour typed leaflet invites 'all compatriots' to the Plaza de la Constitucion to greet 'our President' on his birthday. The tell is the stack of unmeasured virtues and thanks ('inagotable espiritu de lucha', 'incansable gestion constructiva', 'Gesta Libertadora') offered as the reason to attend, with no fact or figure on the sheet; the only specific claim is that Chile was 'the only country in the world' to topple Marxism-Leninism.
