About the flag

This is the MAPU flag.
Antonio Márquez, 06 Mar 2000

A photo shows a vertical table flag, white with a party logo that seems to be horizontally centered, but shifted to the top. I suppose that this is simply a version of the party flag, and that a horizontal version would also be used (even predominantly).

Background

PPD is a social democratic party, but quite rightist as a such. During the Allende years PPD was the Chilean affiliate to the Socialist International whereas Allende’s PS was more clearly marxist. Today PS is in the SI and assimilated to social democracy, whereas PPD is slighly right-wing of PS.

PPD has 2 senators (48 senators in total) and 20 deputees in the 120-seat parliament, which turns it into one of the major parties in the country.
