Jump To Comment: 1Police report 50 arrests after disturbances which occured during peaceful and non violent memorial ceremonies to mark 31 years since pinochet's coup at the then (1973) seat of government which was attacked by Pinochet's troops and where Alende died.
Police also report that 3,500 took part in the memorial acts, and after assembling at the Placa de heroes marched to the Palacio de la Moneda where they then assembled at the door of number 80 Morande street where Alende's dead body was thrown to the street.
The crowd then marched to Placa Constitución, where a statue was unveiled to Allende and then on to the cemetary in the north of the city.
Pinochet launched (and was launched) on a 17 year dictatorship, which saw the Chilean military kill, torture, and terrorise the population, with a savagery unseen in any comparable coup since Franco or if you prefer since the Nazis occupied Europe.
The riots which occured and resulted in 50 (mostly youths) detained, saw street battles with the Police in which private property was damaged, a police station attacked and molotov cocktails exchanged with tear gas.
Included amongst the damages were the vans used by the Chilean TV channel 11.
But tomorrow Chile will be a democracy.
As it was yesterday, as it is today.
And Chile has for two years, not even merited the slightest mention in an Amnesty International Report. Which is thought at least in European circles to be an achievement.
Nor has Chile encurred any sanction from reporters without frontiers for limiting the freedom of the Press, unlike many other supposedly more "free" states.
Chile and Chileans, some might say
have survived their darkest moments of the Wars between Men.
