"The military saved Chile....!"
The following is an extract from an interview with the Spanish newspaper ABC,
published on 10 October 1973, given by the former Chilean President, Eduardo Frei.
He was commenting on the widespread misrepresentation and misunderstanding of the
situation in Chile under Allende, and explaining why the military took power:
"People cannot imagine in Europe how ruined [Chile under Allende]
was. They don’t know what happened...
"The Marxists, with the knowledge and approval of Salvador Allende,
had brought into Chile innumerable arsenals of weapons which they
kept in private houses, offices, factories, warehouses. The world doesn’t
know that the Chilean Marxists had at their disposal armaments
superior in number and quality to those of the army, enough for over
thirty thousand men...The military saved Chile for all of us....Civil war
had been perfectly prepared by the Marxists. And that is what the world
does not know or does not want to know.
"..The military were called in, and they fulfilled a legal obligation,
because the Executive and the Judicial Power, the Congress and the
Supreme Court had publicly denounced the President and his
government for their infractions of the Constitution....Allende’s
aim was
to install communism by violent and undemocratic means, and when the
democrats who had been tricked realised the scale of the trap that had
been set it was already too late. Already the masses of guerillas were
armed and well prepared for their planned extermination of the military
leaders.
"I tell you this [to the interviewer, Luis Calvo]...when a government
refuses to fulfil the social laws, ignores the warnings of the Bar
Association, insults and disobeys the Supreme Court, scorns the great
majority of Congress, provokes economic chaos, arrests and kills
workers who go on strike, crushes individual and political liberties,
depletes the market so as to direct food and other goods to the Marxist
monopolists in the black market; when a government behaves in this
way, when there arise in Chile conditions never seen on such a scale
anywhere in the world, then the right to rebel becomes a duty".
