FOR someone like me and the thousands of Chileans who witnessed the bloody US-backed military coup of September 11 1973 and who have lived in exile here in Britain ever since, the vote on Sunday October 25 to reject decisively Pinochet’s pro-fascist constitution is extremely gratifying.
In fact, hundreds of Chileans and their descendants voted yesterday at the Chilean consulate in London, queueing for hours to do so. Similarly, exiles voted in many European capitals and cities to which Chileans fled for their lives in the terrifying aftermath of the brutal coup which killed the constitutional socialist president of Chile, Dr Salvador Allende.
It was British Hunter Hawker aircraft flown by the traitors in Chile’s air force that bombed the presidential Moneda Palace in Santiago that tragic day.
