The country veered from a Popular Front administration which included radicals, socialists, and communists (Pedro Aguirre Cerda), to one which expelled communists from the government, banned the Communist Party altogether and disenfranchised its members (Gabriel González Videla).
The strains in the political system were evident in the violent reaction of the conservative elite to land reform measures, part of the “Revolution in Liberty” proclaimed by the government of Eduardo Frei Montalva (1964-1970), father of the current president.
