The president of Chile issued a fervent defense of democracy on Monday. It was the 50th anniversary of the coup led by Gen. Augusto Pinochet, a coup that ushered in a brutal military dictatorship for almost two decades. The problems of democracy must be addressed through more democracy, President Gabriel Boric said. He spoke at the La Moneda presidential palace, which was bombed by warplanes at the start of the coup half a century ago. ‘A coup d’état or the violation of the human rights of those who think differently is never justifiable,’ Boric said in his address to the nation. But many people in Chile believe the 1973 coup was justified, according to numerous polls.
