CHILE: Still looking in the rear view mirror
Chile's reluctance to draw a line under what happened before, during
and immediately after the regime of Augusto Pinochet (1973-1990) is still
exerting a major influence on domestic politics. Arguably, the first
right-of-centre government since the end of the Pinochet regime is having more
problems with this issue than its left-wing (Concertación) predecessors. On 22
February, the defence minister, Andrés Allamand, had to spend an hour with the
president of the Agrupación de Familiares de Detenidos Desaparecidos (AFDD), to
justify the appointment of the army chief of staff, General Guillermo Castro
Muñoz.
