	Chamber of Deputies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Historically, the "Chamber of Deputies" (fr:Chambre des députés) was the lower house of parliament in the French Third Republic; the name is still informally used for the Assemblée nationale under the current Fifth Republic.
		Members of these parliamentary chambers are generally referred to as "deputies", with the sense of "congressperson", "member of parliament".
		The term "deputy" may be extended to refer to any member of a parliamentary body; this usage is particularly common among those parliaments or legislative chambers in French- and Spanish-speaking countries that style themselves National Assemblies.

		“Salvador Allende” portrays the fact that the “long, necessary” process of transition experienced in Chile has lead to the recovery of the historical figure of the president who was shot to death at Palacio de la Moneda on September 11, 1973 during the coup d’état by general Augusto Pinochet.

		Isabel Allende pointed out that her father dedicated 50 years of his life to public service and he was “a great pedagogue of the people who, in the 1970s created the possibility of making a dream come true: democratic socialism and freedom”.
