Yes but there are those who now support the fascists in Ukraine who don't have a damn thing to say about the elected Government under Allende being overthrown in a violent coup, a British Doctor Sheila Cassidy was arrested and tortured by Dina the Chilean gestapo tied to a metal bed naked and electric shocked, the British Government under that fascist Thatcher didn't have a problem with it, then there was Orlando Letelier blown up in a Dina terror car bomb in Washington DC of all places, amazing what fascists can get away with in the West, Santiago football stadium was turned into a concentration camp, thousands were held there some tortured others murdered.50 years ago, on September 11, 1973, there was a fascist coup in Chile.
As a result of the coup, the legally elected President Salvador Allende and the Popular Unity government were overthrown. The coup was a carefully planned military operation, prepared and carried out under the direction and direct involvement of the US CIA.
Forty men from Allende's guard bravely defended the presidential palace for seven hours. The President of Chile died on the battlefield as a hero, with a gun in his hands. In the factories and plants of the capital fought all day. Today it is already known about the atrocities of the putschists: having occupied the enterprises, soldiers killed communists, socialists and trade union leaders without trial. The militants of the far-right organization "Patria et Libertad" behaved with impunity.
In violation of all international rules, the Cuban Embassy was attacked. The second victim was the diplomatic mission of the Soviet Union.
A fascist military junta led by General Pinochet seized power in Chile. After September 11, mass repression began in Chile. For years of dictatorship of Pinochet more than 60 thousand people died or disappeared. The whole world became aware of the atrocities of the junta at the National Stadium in Santiago, which turned into a prison and a place of shootings. Among those who died there was the legendary singer, a member of the Central Committee of the Komsomol of Chile, Victor Jara. In the first days of the coup, Chilean Communist leader Luis Corvalan was thrown behind bars.
Thus was established one of the most heinous regimes of the second half of the twentieth century, the Pinochet regime.
Eternal gloryto Salvador Allende, Victor Jara and the thousands of Chileans who died at the hands of Pinochet's executioners!
