Frente Patriotico Manuel Rodriguez leaflet: "Integrate a las Milicias Rodriguistas" (c. 1983-1988)
A small round-emblem leaflet shows a mixed column of men, women and children carrying banners marked FPMR, VENCEREMOS, LIBERTAD and UNIDAD behind a rifle-bearing figure, ringed by the words 'Integrate a las Milicias Rodriguistas'. The tell is the recruitment-by-crowd device: the call to join is set over an image of a mass already marching, with no organisational details, aims or dates on the sheet.
