	Salvador Allende - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As President, Allende carried out a controversial democratic socialist program, and his term was marked by civil unrest, strikes and lockouts, American sanctions, complaints from the Chilean Supreme Court, and calls by some opposition members in the legislature for the military to restore order.
		Chilean presidents were allowed a maximum of six years, which may explain Allende's haste to restructure the economy.
		The President Allende Foundation replied publishing the entire original text of Lombroso ["El Delito, sus causas y remedios", 1902, http://www.elclarin.cl/fpa/pdf/lombroso.pdf] and in April 2006 filed an anti-libel claim against Farias and his publisher in the Court of Justice of Madrid (Spain) [19].

	Thirty Years of Chilean Socialism
		It was a high point of the "Campaign for the 'No"' - the campaign to defeat the dictatorship in its own referendum, reject another eight years with Pinochet as "president," and force general elections - and the key moment in Lagos's rise to national prominence.
		That was, however, to be the zenith of the "Chilean road." The Popular Unity's remaining years were marked by deepening political conflict, social polarization, and economic crisis.
		Chilean capitalists were little inclined to invest for an uncertain future in the new Chile.

		A few Chilean guards turned their heads and noticed that the arm draped over their shoulders was that of the president, and the line softened.

	Welcome Madam Chilean President to Washington - Michelle Bachelet: Hurtling Toward 100 Days
		As a result, Chileans have confidence that Bachelet will be able to deliver on her promise to increase funding for social programs that target areas such as education and healthcare.
		President Bachelet has promised to rid Chile of this Pinochet remnant, but has yet to gather enough political steam to force the change, even as the far-left stridently demands for her to act.
		As Bachelet tries to refashion Chilean society, she must be sensitive to the fact that often for security reasons, Chileans have had a larger-than-life capacity for self-appreciation.

	The Chilean Heroes of Social Security Privatizers - Center for American Progress (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		As President Bush and his right-wing congressional allies attempt to destroy the bedrock of retirement security for this and future generations, they will undoubtedly point to the 1981 privatization of Chile's public pension system as a shining example of the possible as President Bush did late last month in a visit to Chile.
		To fully understand the Chilean experience and appreciate the origins of the social re-engineering being championed by the right-wing today, one must look further back than 1981 to another September 11 – September 11, 1973, the day on which the brutal, repressive, anti-democratic Pinochet regime sprang to life.
		Later, the Pinochet regime was exactly the kind of regime embraced by the Reagan administration in its application of the so-called Kirkpatrick Doctrine that drew a distinction between communist totalitarian regimes and pro-Western, anti-communist authoritarian regimes, leading, in the case of Chile, to an abandonment of a number of Carter administration-era sanctions against the regime.

	Chilean president says leftists no threat - Boston.com
		Chilean President Ricardo Lagos said Monday that the wave of leftists rising to power across Latin America poses no threat to democracy and should not create tensions with the United States.
		Lagos also said the frequent verbal clashes between leftist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and U.S. officials are an inconvenience.
		"There is more democracy with the election of a labor leader as president Lula (da Silva) in Brazil, or with the election of somebody from the ethnic majorities, the Indians, like Evo Morales in Bolivia," he added.

	Fact sheet: Chilean president visits Washington, DC, May 13, 1992 - Patricio Azocar Aylwin - includes related ...
		President Patricio Azocar Aylwin, who assumed office in March 1990 as Chile's first civilian president since 1973, made his first state visit to Washington, DC, on May, 13, 1992.
		After a 14-year period of deteriorated relations stemming from the 1976 carbomb assassination in Washington, DC, of a former Chilean Ambassador to the United States, Orlando Letelier, and Ronni Moffitt, a US citizen, the United States and Chile are strengthening diplomatic interactions.
		Under the terms of the 1980 constitution, which was approved by a two-thirds majority in a plebiscite in September 1980, Chile is governed by a popularly elected president and a bicameral national congress of 38 elected and 8 appointed senators and 120 elected deputies who took office on March 11, 1990.

	Chilean President boycotted Chavez Frias from Allende anniversary? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		According to Chilean tabloid La Tercera, Chilean President Ricardo Lagos stopped Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez Frias from attending the 30th anniversary of the 1973 overthrow of Salvador Allende.
		However, it appears that Lagos sent a diplomatic note to the Venezuelan President informing him that the event was strictly a national event...
		As a member of the Socialist Party of Chile, of which President Allende was a member, Lagos has left himself open to criticism from the grassroots for playing down the continental importance of the event, especially since Allende's experiment created tidal waves throughout Latin America during the three years he was in office.

	“Chilean Students Riot” - theTrumpet.com
		Chilean newspaper National News reported that “hundreds of students in Chile kept pressure on the national authorities in the past fortnight, demanding waiving of bus fares, free university admission tests and an end to the full-day study scheme” (June 5).
		President Bachelet, though she touts a more liberal brand of politics, is shaping up as a kind of Angela Merkel of Chile.
		When we have parents and teachers sympathizing with the actions of law-breaking youth, and a nation’s president castigating the authorities for their attempts to uphold the rule of law in such circumstances, something is deeply wrong with that society.

	The Chilean Truth and Reconciliation Commission (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		After then-Chilean President Augusto Pinochet unexpectedly lost a referendum on his government's performance in 1988, it triggered democratic elections that brought Patricio Aylwin to the presidency in 1990.
		This became significant after Pinochet's detention in London launched a wave of judicial action in Chile, which resulted, among other things, in the Chilean Supreme Court ruling in 1999 that the 1978 amnesty did not apply to disappearances because they were an ongoing crime (Hayner 2001).
		Hayner (2001) observed in 1996 that Chileans insisted reconciliation had been achieved, but there was still great reluctance to discuss the past.
