Artists Meet in Chile to Honor Allende

HeadlineNov 10, 2008

In Chile, artists from around the world gathered in the capital Santiago for a weekend concert honoring the late former President Salvador Allende. Allende was overthrown in a 1973 US-backed military coup. His daughter, Isabel Allende, said her father has become a universal symbol for democratic socialism.

Isabel Allende: “We see in Salvador Allende a universal symbol. He was the first democrat who, in Chile, tried to take a path of socialism within the framework of democracy, pluralism and freedom.”
