Social Cost of the
Government of Allende
The following situations were part of the
social cost of the government of the u.p.
Economic crisis
About a hundred of persons - a by week - expired of violent
death and directly atribuible to political or social motives, during
the almost three years of " Popular Unit".
Peasant and farmers perished to be faced in the "you take" (
illegal occupations) of properties agricolas, finished bullet, to
knife and until to sticks. Proprietary of age died of the heart, to
be shed of their/its lands or upon seeing them assaulted. A old woman
kidnaped and vexed in their/its/your/his establish, it was committed
suicide. In the struggles and incidents between extremist factions
expired students, without never they would be located the assassins.
Equal thing happened with victim carabineers of ultraizquierdistas;
inclusive one of those agents of the order was finished to shoots
from the interior of a socialistic party premises. - the party of the
sir Allende -.
Extremists pardoned by the president Allende, belonging to the
VOP ( Organized Forefront of the People), began at once a series of
assassinations, successive six - between them that of ex Minister of
the Interior, sir ++Edmundo Pérez, outstanding militant of the
Christian Democracy.
Other Pardoned by the sir Allende, together with the assassins
of the VOP, they were the ringleaders of the MIR ( Revolutionary Left
Movement), that orquestaron the overflow of the legality that so much
blood would cost Chile.
All this was made with the mandatory passiveness of the
uniformed policeman, obligated by the sir Beyond to proceed not to,
and with the complicity of the civil policeman, directed by
socialistic and communist and, of this manner, entirely
politizada.
Economic Crisis
Meanwhile, the country was thrown by the Popular Unit to the
worse economic crisis of their/its/your/his national life,
unparalleled in the modern history of the world, unless for
war-stricken countries or by international conjunctures. Some figures
related to this point are the following:
- An inflation that will surpass 300% in 1973
- A deficit in the commercial scale, for the same year, that
exederá of 450 million of dollars (1970s closed with a surplus
of more than 175 million of dollars)
- An increase in the external debt , in three years, of the
order of the 60%.
- A fiscal deficit, in 1973, estimated in a 45% of the total
expense of the exchequer.
- A national investment (calculated as percentage of the gross
geographical product) that in 1973 will be of alone two-thirds of
that of 1970s
- A low in the industrial production in 1973, with respect to
1972 of the order of the 6%.
( Obtained figures from studys of the Universities of Chile and
Catholic)
Already in 1973 the effects of the crisis impinged brutally on
the workers, whose participation on the revenue - according to
studies of the University of Chile - was inferior to that of 1970s.
Or rather, their/its/your/his real situation was worse of the one
which had before Beyond. ++Recrudecieron alarming phenomena, as the
malnutrition and infantile mortality. And the desabastecimiento was
made critical, affecting to so essential products as the bread, the
flour, all the types of meat, the wine, the drinks
analcohólicas, the cigarettes, the detergents, the paste
dentrífica, etc., and appearing the endless tails (that often
was extended of a day to other) and a black market, whose fundamental
source were the companies estatizadas and the official or political
organizations of distribution.
Paradojalmente the sir Allende was clamoring phrases as that
carry out a revolution "with the smaller social cost that it will be
possible to imagine in our circunstancias... without unnecessary
physical compulsions, without institutional disorder, without
disorganizing the production". Also was assuring that " was not
possible to destroy a social and economic structure, a social
institution preexist you, without before have developed,
mínimamente, that of replacement". Furthermore said that "Our
works will not sacrifice the attention of the needs of the Chileans
of now in cyclopean companies profit".
Unfortunately , the Chileans yes were sacrificed by the sir
Beyond and by the Popular Unit, but not in profit of no company, but
of a physical destruction, economic, political, social and moral in
fact cyclopean.
