| Summary: | This article studies the National Association of Artists and Intellectuals, which emerged as an entity to support the Chilean civic-military dictatorship for the national plebiscite of 1988. Its composition, development and links with the authorities are thus analyzed, proposing that this group, far from being a private and non-profit entity, it was working with – and for – the government in the cultural battle against the political opposition and its NO. Beyond evidencing its links with the dictatorship, through its study, it shows the disconnection that the authorities lived at that time with respect to reality and their chances of winning at the polls, with entities that, like this one, did no more to deliver a bad diagnosis about his chances of staying in government.
