Spain ‘Support for Argentina in the face of English colonialism’ — Spanish Falangist poster published during the Falklands War (1982) showing a British soldier in Argentina.

The text reads in full:

'Our brother country, after suffering the degrading oppression of "Great Britain", has responded in the only way that a country of men of honour can, by occupying a territory that is theirs by right. We Spaniards must see an example in this Argentinian "ACTION", especially while our own country is stained by the English boot. SPANISH GIBRALTAR'.

Seemingly published by Falange Española de las JONS, the Falangist party founded following the end of Francosim. I believe the '1ª línea' (Primera Linea) refers to a faction within FE de las JONS.
