  The New Media Journal | Will the Media Treat Castro's Death As They Treated Pinochet's? by Rene Guerra   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
While in exile in 1980, I happened to be in Paris for an international meeting of leftist and leftistoid political parties where I met, one-on-one, Clodomiro Almeyda, at the time in exile and the General Secretary of the Socialist Party of Chile.
Almeyda was Allende’s Minister of Foreign Relations (the equivalent to the Secretary of State in the U.S.), and a confessed Marxist-Leninist of Stalinist tendencies.
I met Almeyda again few days later in Maastricht, Holland, and, again, this time after a few glasses of exquisite French cognac (Almeyda had a connoisseur’s bourgeois taste for good, expensive liquors) he repeated the story.

Almeyda arrived at 0150 GMT on an aircraft of Cubana de Aviacion and was greeted by his Cuban counterpart, Raul Roa Garcia, who was accompanied by Carlos Rafael Rodriguez, a member of the secretariat of the Cuban Communist Party.

Following his arrival, the diplomatic corps accredited to Cuba was introduced in a 4-minute ceremony and then Almeyda left the airport, having shaken hands with some of the people who had gathered outside to greet him.

Almeyda recalled that although US direct and armed intervention was judged by the UP to be unlikely, there were other means at the US’ disposal that could be used against Chile.
Almeyda publicly recalled the ‘sad moments in which, impotent, it could not avoid’ Cuba’s isolation at precisely the time when that country embodied their ‘most wanted values.’ Both aimed to construct a socialist society to replace the capitalist system in their countries.
Almeyda told the OAS in April 1971 that Chile would ‘be neither [Cuba’s] lawyers nor [its] solicitors’ in the organisation in view of Washington’s obvious preoccupation with the relationship. The UP did not fulfil its pre-election promises to vociferously denounce the OAS as an instrument of US imperialism in Latin America.

Almeyda and Del Canto, both linked to the present government, made no public statements.
The German government reacted to Honecker's death saying that "Erich Honecker drowned in his own ideas and his policies brought suffering to uncountable Germans...Out of respect to his death, we will not make comments on his role in post-War German history," said German spokesman Dieter Vogel.

Although Washington suspected the UP of pursuing a similar dual track in its foreign policy towards the hemisphere and the United States, the new Chilean government was genuinely, albeit extremely optimistically, hoping for accommodation with the US owing to its priority in making La Via Chilena work.
On 22 December 1970, Almeyda told the Chilean Senate that the UP would try to ‘reduce’ areas of conflict with the US ‘to the minimum’.
As a consequence of détente and the ‘development of a Latin American political conscience’ Almeyda reasoned that the OAS’s role was ‘beginning to be questioned’ and was going through a ‘crisis’.
