About P.L.R.A.

The P.L.R.A. was founded on 10 July 1887 in Asunción as Centro Democrático, presided by Antonio Taboada, a hero of the war against the Triple Alliance (Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay). It governed Paraguay from 17 December 1904 to 17 February 1936. The party was renamed Partido Liberal in 1890, Partido Liberal Radical in 1967, and Partido Liberal Radical Auténtico in 1978.

Under the Stroessner regime, Paraguay was a single-party state. The original Partido Liberal was made illegal and many members fled into exile. Eventually, Stroessner allowed opposition parties to exist legally again, as long as they recognized the authority of his own Partido Colorado. The Partido Liberal thus split into a radical faction who rejected the second-rate status, and a faction who returned to politics within the new system. The radical faction went on to officially add the Radical moniker to the party name, as mentioned.

Official flag

The flag of P.L.R.A. is described in the preamble of the party’s statutes, last amended 7 May 2006:

and as its emblem the blue flag with a five-pointed star placed in upper hoist, the first flag of the motherland at the dawn of its independence.
The flag alluded to in the party’s statutes must be the short-lived flag used in 1811.

The flag of the Radical Liberals is also very similar to that of the Dr Francia presidency, 1826-1842.

The party website currently displays, as part of the header of all pages, the image of party flag with the upright star; a photo confirms this design.

Shade of blue

Regarding the shade of blue, the images currently available on the web, regardless of the visible details of design, reveal that the field is about the same shade as blue in the national flag.

Other flags

The colour seems to be the important thing, with design being secondary. Here are two captures from the brief report which appeared on World News Today on BBC4 tv on 21 April 2008: Supporters of the PLRA, which uses dark blue, are shown in these shots waving vigorously (too vigorously for detailed analysis) at least three types of blue flag, all of them different from what we show. There is one with a star and the initials, one with the initials in a different typeface and between lines, and one plain blue flag.

Inverted star

The flag seems to be incorrect: The star is shown upside-down, and blue color is too dark. This may have been derived from the party logo which was used in late 1990’s and early 2000’s, showing a waving flag shaped in a simplified way, with and all edges composed of straight lines, the star orientation being adapted to the “slanted” hoist in a way which might deceive the observer to get the impression of an upside-down star, as no flagstaff was shown. This logo has been out of use for a long time.
