O governo de Salvador Allende na perspectiva dos jornais maranhenses Do Dia e O Estado do Maranhão

Abstract

This monograph brought the analysis of the challenges that Salvador Allende had to face so that he could be president of Chile, between 1970 and 1973, this analysis was based on the Maranhão newspapers O Estado Maranhão and O Jornal do Dia, in addition to other bibliographical contributions that addressed the understanding of the struggle for socialism and the subsequent Chilean military coup that lasted from 1973 to 1990. The struggle against Allende's government was established even before he became governor, the first elected person fighting for the implementation of socialism, despite having been elected, it was not enough to determine that the Right Party allowed the government, as there was a violation of human rights, of respect for social choice for democratic elections. In addition to enticing voters, there was also the purchase of media by the opposite party, causing journalists to replicate the idea against the government with assumptions and questions contrary to the current government situation. In September 1973, the military coup in Chile was launched with a focus on removing Allende from power, although the president democratically elected by the Popular Unity party fought with all his resources for the continuation of his mandate. The right-wing party did not accept Allende's path to socialism in Chile. This was followed by a violent coup where the Chilean armed forces bombed the government palace where hours later President Salvador Allende was declared dead. General Augusto Pinochet assumed the position of president of the country and, during the Pinochet dictatorship, political persecution in Chilean territory intensified, arbitrary arrests, crimes against humanity through various institutions in addition to the torture regime. What was proposed by Allende in its entirety did not materialize and after his death Chile lived years of brutal repression, the research presents Allende's struggle in his government until the coup and bases throughout the work fulfilling the desired objective.
