This is the MAPU flag.

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

MAPU was created in 1969, and supported President Allende’s
government. It still exists as a minor party, not having representatives
at the congress.

From Encyclopaedia Universalis:
The Radical Party 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 Allende’s government, joined the rightist opposition.I suppose the party was suppressed during Pinochet’s dictature.
According to Wikipedia,
in 1988, most members joint the founders of
Partido por la Democracia (PPD).
