Description
Summary:Abstract In 1965, the creation of both, the LeftRevolutionary Movement (MIR) in Chile and the National Liberation Movement - Tupamaros (MLN-T) in Uruguay, was yet another episode of the process of radicalization of the Latin American leftwing, after the tri-umph of the Cuban Revolution, in 1959. By rejecting the democratic way and the elec-tions as forms of access to power, these groups opted to take up arms, as the only alternative for the construction of socialism. [...]before the national elections of 1970 in Chile and 1971 in Uruguay, both organizations proclaimed a truce, so that the electoral processes could develop normally and, after raising many objections, they supported the candidacies of Salvador Allende (Popular Unity) in Chile and Liber Seregni (Broad Front) in Uruguay. Andrés Pascal Allende revelou também que [...] la institucionalización de la guardia armada civil del Presidente Allende en la vida nacional le fue posibilitando al MIR la ejecución de una serie de actividades encubiertas, bajo la apariencia de prestar protección al Primer Mandatario y sus residencias.
