PDC: Partido Democrata Cristano
Christian Democratic Party

PDC flag
by Guillermo Tell Aveledo, 07 Sep 2000

Deep blue flag with a white lozenge centred inside, and within the lozenge, a red arrow or phalanx, upwards, crossing through two rectangles, also in red. These two rectangels are said to be the left and the right, which are surpassed by Christian Democracy. This flag also exists with the lozenge lying, but I'm not sure where the arrow points in that case.

blue map variant

PSC flag
by Guillermo Tell Aveledo, 15 Sep 2000

According was published in Faggenmitteilung [fbn], the party flag was red with logo, but logo in flags seems to be different colorized: the american map blue. Letters and border of the circle, they are black. I donʼt know which of these flags is a variant and which is the official flag.

MAPU - Movimiento de Acción Popular Unitaria
Unitary Popular Action Movement

MAPU flag
by Ivan Sache, 06 Aug 1999

This is the MAPU flag. This party was created in 1969, and supported President Allendeʼs government. Stil exists as a minor party, not having representatives at the congress.
Antonio Márquez, 06 Mar 2000

Green field with a red star outlined in white in the middle.

The Radical Party [center-left] split in three fractions: a left wing, which kept the original name and supported Salvador Allende; a right wing, the Radical Democracy, and later, during a third scission, the Party of the Radical Left, which, after having supported Allendeʼs government, joined the rightist opposition.
(from Encyclopaedia Universalis) I suppose the party was suppressed during Pinochetʼs dictature. Source is Smith (1975) [smi75c], pp. 340-341 ("Symbols in politics"), where it is identified as the flag of the Party of the Radical Left (Partido de la Izquierda Radical). Smith says that these are real flags and not only party emblems, which may differ in colours when used as emblem or in a flag.
