# "Garantía de la paz, garantía del futuro": Spain's national referendum poster, 1966

Poster for Spain's national referendum of 14 December 1966: a half-tone portrait of a smiling, seated Franco beneath the heading 'Referendum Nacional', with the red slogan 'Garantía de la paz, garantía del futuro' (Guarantee of peace, guarantee of the future) at the foot. The tell: the poster never mentions the Organic Law of the State actually on the ballot; two abstract virtue phrases and a portrait stand in for the question put to voters.
