Jorge Alessandri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Jorge Alessandri Rodríguez (May 19, 1896 – August 31, 1986) was President of Chile from 1958 to 1964, and was the candidate of the centre-right in Chile's crucial presidential election of 1970. |
 | | However, Alessandri was seen as rather conservative by the Liberal Party, and in the end it was the moderate wing of the Conservative Party which secured his position as an independent candidate for the Presidency, with his campaign majoring on his economic expertise. |
 | | Alessandri's period of office ended in 1964, and he was succeeded by his Christian Democrat of 1958, the moderate left-winger Eduardo Frei Montalva. |
