This series consists of Vargas Llosa's political correspondence, primarily covering the years 1988 to 1991, with the general public and with Peruvian politicians such as Fernando Belaúnde Terry, Luis Bedoya Reyes, and Javier Silva Ruete. There is also a large amount of correspondence with other leaders of Movimiento Libertad and Vargas Llosa's presidential campaign staff such as Luis Bustamante Belaunde, Miguel Cruchaga, Miguel Vega Alvear, Enrique Ghersi, Frederick Cooper Llosa, and Jorge Salmón Jordán. There are also manuscripts of speeches delivered by Vargas Llosa; preliminary drafts and printed versions of publications of FREDEMO and Movimiento Libertad such as Bases para el Plan de Gobierno (1990-1995) , Acción para el cambio , and El país que vendrá ; and correspondence and printed material related to two conferences held in Lima, Peru: the First National Congress of Movimiento Libertad (April 14-16, 1989), and the other, a world meeting sponsored by the Peruvian association “Associación Pro-Desarrollo,” “La Revolución de la Libertad” (March 7-9, 1990).
