41 years ago, on 4th November 1970, Dr Salvador Allende becomes President of Chile elected by popular vote.
This government has a program that would nationalize the minerals, the banks and implement the Agrarian Reform to redistribute the land. Today our country faces a new battle as the students and our ethnic minority struggle for thir rights to education and the Mapuches for autonomy and to stop the robbery of their ancient land by succesive Chilean governments.
