(19 Sep 1980) Background to Story: The Pinochet regime in Chile has the reputation of being a
stern dictatorship, with an appalling record on human rights. But Chileans have
just confirmed President Pinochet in power for a new eight-year term, under a new
constitution that could put off parliament democracy until 1997. An astonishing
turn-about for a nation that voted in Salvador Allende, the world’s first freely
elected Marxist leader. It seems to have happened because Pinochet has succeeded
where Allende failed – in maintaining government authority and making the economy
work.
